Rangers: RHP Jacob deGrom (10-6, 2.79)
The American League Cy Young campaign is probably over with for deGrom, but it should not lessen his bounce back season after missing the last two seasons recovering from Tommy John surgery. He does enter this game with a 1-4 record and a 4.15 ERA in his last seven games, with 50 strikeouts and nine walks in his last 39 innings.
He’s absorbed losses in two of his last three starts, including his five-inning outing against the Los Angeles Angels in which he gave up just three hits, but two earned runs and two walks against seven strikeouts. Home runs have become an issue lately. He’s given up at least one home run in seven of his last nine starts. Still, at this stage of the season, the Rangers want the ball in his hands.
Athletics: RHP J.T. Ginn (2-5, 4.96)
Ginn is in his second Major League season and he’s starting to get the hang of things, even though he’s 1-3 with a 5.01 ERA in his last seven games. In his last outing against Detroit, he gave up seven hits and three earned runs in 5.1 innings, but he struck out eight and walked one.
Strikeouts are one area in which he’s performing well. In his last seven starts he has 33 punchouts in 32.1 innings. For the season he has 74 strikeouts in 65.1 innings. period in fact he has struck out 33 hitters in 32.1 innings. For the season he’s punched out 74 hitters over 65.1 innings. He moved back into a starting role after the All-Star break. The Athletics might give him the rest of the season to show he can take a full-time role in 2026.

The state of Texas announced a lawsuit against streaming giant Netflix on Monday, accusing the company of spying on children and other consumers by collecting their data without consent and designing the platform to be addictive.
Texas claims that Netflix has falsely represented to consumers that it didn’t collect or share user data while it actually tracked and sold viewers’ habits and preferences to commercial data brokers and advertising technology companies.

The lawsuit, filed by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, claims that “Netflix’s endgame is simple and lucrative: get children and families glued to the screen, harvest their data while they are stuck there, and then monetize the data for a handsome profit.”

Paxton said in a press release that Netflix “has built a surveillance program designed to illegally collect and profit from Texans’ personal data without their consent, and my office will do everything in our power to stop it.”
The attorney general said he’s charging Netflix under the state’s Deceptive Trade Practices Act and seeks to require Netflix to stop the unlawful collection and disclosure of user data, require Netflix to disable autoplay by default on kid’s profiles, and to secure injunctive relief and civil penalties.
