The Texas Rangers might be a team you don’t think about very often. If so, that’s fair. They not only play in the far away A.L. West, but like the Orioles they haven’t had a winning season since 2016. Their loss numbers haven’t plunged to the depths that the Orioles have achieved in the last few years, but it’s all the same in the end.
Fun fact: the 2016 Rangers finished first in their division, but their postseason ended in the same way that the Orioles’ did that year. They lost to the Blue Jays.
Starting today, the Orioles and Rangers kick off a three-game series in Baltimore, the start of a seven-game homestand.
