Texas Rangers Preview

The Texas Rangers are third in the American League West, just two games behind co-leaders Seattle and Houston. Texas trails the third and final American League wild card spot by two games. Texas has been hot recently (5 straight wins). Jacob Latz has been steady on the mound in just a few appearances (2–0, 2.91 ERA in 74 innings).

Offensively, injuries are an issue for the Rangers. Corey Seager (21 home runs) and Adolis García (73 RBI) are both out at this time. Without them, the lineup is led by Wyatt Langford and Josh Smith, who are more contact hitters than power threats. Nevertheless, Texas has been able to string together five straight wins to put it back in both the race for the AL West and/or a wild card.

New York Mets Preview

The New York Mets are trailing first-place Philadelphia Phillies and the National League East by 12 games and currently hold the third and final NL wild card spot, but by just a half game. New York has lost eight of its last 10. Nolan McLean has been excellent on the mound for the Mets at 4–1, with a 1.42 ERA and 33 Ks in 31 innings. McLean hasn’t pitched deep into games, but is tough to hit when on his game.
