The Texas Rangers are the closest they have been to first place or making the playoffs in the last seven years.
The Rangers are one game back of first place and have less than a month until the regular season is over. As of right now, they are one game back of first place, but they are on a four-game winning streak and two wins away from sweeping the Toronto Blue Jays in a four-game series. They play the third-place Seattle Mariners, who are one game back from the Rangers and two games back from first place.
The Rangers’ bullpen has not been as good as it was in the beginning; they are definitely getting tired and losing some games because they are giving up too many runs in the late innings. One of their best pitchers, Max Scherzer, ended up leaving the game after a triceps issue and ended up getting an MRI.
