The Texas Rangers may have dropped another series to the Houston Astros, but their playoff hopes are still alive. 🚨

After a heartbreaking 6–5 loss and three straight defeats, the AL West is officially out of reach. But the Rangers’ path to October baseball now runs through the Wild Card race—where they’ll need to outlast the Cleveland Guardians and Boston Red Sox.

✅ Cleveland is red hot, winning 10 of their last 11.

✅ Boston is stumbling, dropping four of their last five.

✅ Texas has a favorable schedule ahead with the Marlins and Twins before a crucial season-ending series against Cleveland.

If Jacob deGrom and the Rangers’ rotation can stabilize, Texas still has a realistic shot at sneaking into that final Wild Card spot. The question is—will the Guardians cool off and will Boston keep slipping?
