Who starts Game 1 vs. Baltimore? Where does Evan Carter bat? Nothing’s ever easy for the Texas Rangers.
The sun set in Baltimore on Friday and the Rangers, having had two full days to work through all the simulations, still didn’t have a starter for Game 1 of the ALDS against Baltimore.
The No. 3 spot is, last we checked, still pretty important. The trend in recent years is to move the best offensive threat up to No. 2, where, over the course of a 162-game season the hitter might get an extra 17-20 plate appearances. The No. 2 spot carried a .785 OPS this season across baseball, highest of any position.. No. 3 guys combined for a .774 average, which was second-best. Rangers’ No. 3 hitters, for the year, posted a .771, which ranked 16th of 30 teams.
The Rangers No. 3 hitters are 18 for 116 since Sept. 1, including the wild card series. Whether you ascribe to boy math or girl math, which thanks to TikTok, is a thing, it still adds up to .155. Any way you chop that up, it’s bad math. Even worse: They are 4 for 31 with runners in scoring position, a league-worst .129. It’s been bad.
