Rangers Eye .500 Surge Against Red Sox

The Texas Rangers are back at .500 for the first time since early May, after a six-game grind, and now they’re eyeing their first win above that mark. With a hot streak of nine wins in twelve games, they’re just one game behind the Mariners in the division. Joc Pederson, recovering from a hip issue, is expected to return as DH — and while he’s been crushing it in the leadoff spot, his struggles against lefties could be a hurdle this weekend. The Red Sox’s lefty-heavy pitching staff makes this series a tough test, especially for Evan Carter, who may only get one start. This three-game set in Boston could be their best shot to reignite momentum and climb back into the playoff race. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
