The Texas Rangers' schedule is set to be challenging early in their season, with manager Skip Schumaker facing a challenging start. The Rangers have not had a winning season since 2016 and are more likely to be away from Globe Life Field. Their early schedule includes games against playoff teams and a home-heavy second half. If they struggle in the first half, it could lead to the team's president of baseball operations Chris Young to consider selling high-priced talent. The team's road winning percentage in three seasons under Bruce Bochy is ranked 23rd in the majors. Despite a tough start to the season, the Rangers have a winning percentage of.418 in May. They are expected to own a one-game edge in the home-and-home series with Houston for the fourth consecutive season.
