Texas Rangers 2023 MLB Preview, Odds & Betting Props
The Texas Rangers have significantly improved their starting rotation, led by star pitcher Jacob deGrom. Last season, their rotation ranked 26th in fWAR and struggled with defense, finishing 25th in ERA and 27th in park-adjusted ERA. With these upgrades, the Rangers are projected to win around 79-83 games by ZiPS and slightly above .500 with 82 wins by a Steamer-ZiPS blend.
Considering their poor luck last season in terms of Pythagorean Expectation and one-run games, it’s reasonable to expect an increase of about 11 wins this year. Their overall production last season was more indicative of a 76-win team rather than the 68 games they won.
As a sports betting analyst, it’s important to consider the Rangers’ improved rotation when placing bets on their games. The upgrades alone should result in a significant increase in wins. However, it’s also worth noting that their success may be impacted by factors such as luck and performance in close games.

What to expect in 2023?
Last season, they finished with a record of 68-94, which was slightly worse than their projected record of 70-92 by PECOTA and 75-87 by Fangraphs.
However, the Pythagorean Expectation suggests that they may have been a bit unlucky last season. With an expectation of 77-85, they could have potentially finished in third place in their division instead of fourth. Despite this improvement, they still would have missed the playoffs.
One major issue for the Rangers last season was their poor performance in one-run games. They had a record of 15-35 in such games, which was the worst in MLB. As a sports betting analyst, it’s important to consider these factors when placing bets on Rangers games. Their struggles in close games may be cause for concern and could impact their performance against tougher opponents.
