The Texas Rangers will close out their long road trip with a weekend showdown against the National League East-topping Atlanta Braves.
ARLINGTON, Texas — The weekend series between the Texas Rangers and Atlanta Braves is a battle between two first-place teams, with the Rangers leading the AL West and the Braves heading up the NL East. The Rangers sit at 11 wins, just one behind the Braves’ 12. In addition to those similarities, the two teams are coming off series wins, with Texas handling Detroit and Atlanta helping out the Rangers by sweeping Houston.
Energy wise, however, it feels like the Braves have more in the tank than Texas at the moment.
