The Rangers season in numbers
- Record
- 80-82
- Division
- 2 of 5
- Run diff.
- -46
- Expected wins
- 76
- Home
- 45-36
- Road

The Rangers scored 673 runs and allowed 719, a run differential of -46. That works out to 4.15 runs scored and 4.44 allowed per game, against a league average of 4.48 for each side. Based on those runs, a typical team would have won about 76 games, so the Rangers finished 4 wins above that mark. That is close enough to say the Rangers record reflects how well they actually played.
The Rangers were 45-36 at Globe Life Field and 35-46 away from it. That home edge is wider than most, so the ballpark matters more than usual when the Rangers are priced at home. Against left-handed starters they were 28-20, against right-handers 52-62, and they closed the regular season 4-6 over the last ten games, losing the final game.
Recent form: the last 10 games
In their last 10 regular-season games the Rangers went 4-6, scoring 3.8 and allowing 4.6 runs per game. 5 of those 10 games finished above 9 total runs, 1 was decided by a single run, and the widest margin was 10-2 away at MIN. The chart plots each of those Rangers games, runs scored above the line and runs allowed below it.

The Rangers in the first inning

The Rangers scored in the first inning 29.6% of the time and allowed a first-inning run in 34.6% of games. That places the Rangers among the clubs where the first inning is most often busy. The NRFI Lab puts the Rangers next to every other team and starter on the same split.
How to read the Rangers numbers
Putting the Rangers numbers to use: the run differential and expected wins say more about team quality than the raw record, the home and road split shows how much Globe Life Field helps, and the last-ten totals show whether recent Rangers games have run high or low. For Rangers totals, the over/under guide explains the market step by step, and the odds calculator turns any price into an implied probability. None of these Rangers figures predicts a single game, and no bet is ever a sure thing.
Globe Life Field, home of the Rangers
The Texas Rangers play their home games at Globe Life Field in Arlington, TX, a ballpark with a retractable roof, at an elevation of 545 feet. Games there averaged 8.14 total runs, an index of 0.91 against the league average, which makes Globe Life Field one of the tougher places to score. When the Globe Life Field roof is open, wind and temperature come back into play. The ballpark scoring page ranks all 30 parks.
Rangers injured list
6 players are on the Rangers injured list: Cal Quantrill (P, IL 60-Day), Carter Baumler (P, IL 60-Day), Cole Winn (P, IL 60-Day), Jack Leiter (P, IL 60-Day), Jalen Beeks (P, IL 60-Day), Jose Corniell (P, IL 60-Day). The list comes from the Rangers 40-man roster and refreshes every morning.
