Rangers Face a Margin Test Against Baseball's Best
Milwaukee enters the weekend with baseball’s best record while sitting at the bottom of MLB in home-run production, and the Brewers’ style creates an uncomfortable mirror for Texas. Austin digs into the Rangers’ drop from a 46% extra-base-taken rate in 2025 to 34% this year, why Milwaukee has more than twice as many steals, and what happened to the aggressive baserunning Texas talked about all spring. He also gets into another favorable rotation break with Jacob Misiorowski missing the series, the Ohtani/Skenes/Skubal pattern, Cody Bradford and the weekend pitching matchups, and why two of three still has to be the target in Milwaukee.
