The Texas Rangers pulled out all the stops in the 2021 offseason, spending big bucks in hopes of ending their five-year postseason drought.

Despite showing improvement from the previous campaign, the team failed to make a serious run at the playoffs.

In the 2022 season, the Texas offense averaged 4.36 runs per game, ranking them 18th in the league with a .239 batting average. The team’s .301 on-base percentage was 25th, while their .395 slugging percentage was 13th.

Leading the Rangers was Nathaniel Lowe, who boasted a .302 batting average, .358 on-base percentage, and .492 slugging percentage, all team-highs.

The total stayed UNDER in 10 of the Rangers’ last 14 matches with the Phillies.
The Texas Rangers are 2-5 SU in their last 7 games at home.
Texas is 7-0 SU in their last 7 games at home against Philadelphia.
