Right in the middle for a reason. Losing by 3 last night pulls things in the wrong direction. Counterbalancing that, holding teams to 2.3 runs a game. That's the foundation right now.

Rangers News
The Texas Rangers fell to the Houston Astros 4-1, marking another tough outing for Jacob deGrom, who gave up four homers while the Rangers continued to struggle with their offense. Despite racking up six hits and drawing eight walks, Texas couldn't convert those opportunities into runs, highlighting the frustrating inconsistency of their batting lineup. The absence of Corey Seager, sidelined for a second consecutive game due to minor back spasms, looms large as he grapples with a career-worst slump. With a record of 21-24, the Rangers are looking to get back on track amid a competitive division, but they’ll need a drastic turnaround on offense to support their solid pitching, which has been overshadowed by missed chances to capitalize on baserunners.
