It’s been a rough season for the Texas Rangers against the American League West and on the road this season.

So, naturally, when their chances to catch the Houston Astros in the AL West are on the line, the Rangers are on the road and facing a divisional opponent in Seattle that they’ve historically struggled with.

The Rangers (71-73) and the Mariners (67-77) start a three-game series on Tuesday night. Texas is two games back of the Astros in the division and within striking distance of the final AL wild card berth. But there are headwinds.

The Rangers are 31-41 on the road this season. They are 6-17 against the AL West on the road and 22-27 against the division overall this season. Texas has had huge issues winning games in Seattle in recent memory. Earlier this year the Rangers went 1-2 in Seattle. But Texas has already won the season series with Seattle, 7-3. But six of those wins have come at home.

If Texas wants a legitimate shot at catching Houston or the final AL wild card berth, it needs to start the road trip by taking two out of three games.

Here is a preview of the series, with the pitching probables and the injured list.
