MLB Future Best Bets: Texas Rangers Predicted to Secure a Spot in the American League Playoffs

Texas Rangers (+550) to Reach the American League Playoffs

The Yankees, Twins, and Royals currently hold the Wild Card spots, with the Rangers 7.5 games behind. However, Texas still has a chance to clinch one of the final two Wild Card spots.

The Rangers have the second-easiest remaining schedule (.476 strength of schedule), featuring 20 games against the Athletics, White Sox, and Angels.

In their next 13 games, the Rangers will face the White Sox, Blue Jays, Cardinals, and Red Sox — all winnable series, suggesting that the current +550 odds could soon improve to +300.

Boston, Seattle, Tampa Bay, and Detroit are ahead of Texas in the AL Wild Card race. Of these, Tampa Bay and Detroit are unlikely playoff contenders, and Boston faces tough competition in their division.

Texas has faced significant injuries this season, with 1,004 total games missed and 21 instances of placing a player on the injured list, second only to Oakland in the AL West.

However, many injured players are set to return, including pitchers Jacob DeGrom, Tyler Mahle, and Dane Dunning, along with hitters Evan Carter and Josh Jung.

With the trade deadline approaching on July 30, Texas is more likely to be buyers than sellers, aiming to capitalize on their favorable second-half schedule. I bet on the Rangers to make the postseason at +550 odds and would still back them down to +300 after the White Sox series.
