Texas Rangers

The Texas Rangers have shown resilience at home, boasting a 36-23 record at Globe Life Field. Despite a recent 2-3 skid, they’re not a team to be underestimated. Corey Seager has been a consistent performer, while Adolis Garcia and Marcus Semien have contributed significantly to their offensive production. However, their inconsistent form, especially against the Phillies in the recent head-to-head history, is a concern.

While they’ve struggled to find consistency at the plate, averaging just 3.0 runs per game in their last five outings, their home record speaks of their potential. The absence of Chris Martin may pose a challenge, but the Rangers have shown capacity to adapt. Their home form, coupled with the potential of their key players, makes them a formidable force for the Phillies’ road challenge.

• Batting Average: 0.232
• Total Runs Scored: 478
• Home Runs: 121
• OPS: 0.676
• ERA: 3.28
• WHIP: 1.17

Away Record: 24-35 • Home Record: 36-23
Last 5 Games: 2-3 (3.0 RPG)
Last 10 Games: 4-6 (3.4 RPG)
