Underestimating the Texas Rangers is something every MLB team will do this year, including the Mets and Yankees.
The difference is if the Mets lose their weekend home series to Texas in August, it’s probably just a bad run. The Rangers are otherwise a non-factor for them. If the Yankees struggle in either four April games in Arlington or a late June weekend in the Bronx, it could be a potential playoff preview.
Yes, you read that correctly. The Texas Rangers are coming up on their flash rebirth that happens once every decade or so.
