After winning the World Series in 2023, the Texas Rangers have failed to make the postseason over the last two years. However, this year, things are looking different.

The pitching staff is looking the part, getting great results from Jacob deGrom. Offensively, things could be better, but they have a run differential of +10, which is great.

So far, they have started with a 12-12 record, but they will be tested to end the month. They finish their series with the Pittsburgh Pirates on Thursday before taking on the Athletics and the New York Yankees before we get into May.
