Tonight is a big one. I don’t care that the Rangers are limping into the game, or that the Rangers are last in the AL West with a 15-24 record.

As an Astros fan residing in Dallas, I still haven’t forgotten that the Rangers were 28-10 against Houston from 2015-2016. Or that the Rangers won 95 games in 2016 with a +8 run differential while the Astros missed the playoffs with a +23 run differential.
