Over his last 10 games, Rengifo has been 10-for-32, including a double and two home runs. His current form suggests he is seeing the ball well and making solid contact.
Opposing Analysis
The Athletics' pitching staff has struggled this season, particularly on the road where they have a 15-36 record.
