2017 Texas Rangers MLB Betting Season Prediction

The Texas Rangers come into the start of the 2024 season as the defending World Series Champion. That is odd to say, as it was the first time in franchise history that they won the World Series. Now, they are looking to go back to back. Today, we want to take a look at the Texas Rangers season rundown before the season starts.

This means, we are going to look at their odds to win the American League West, the American League as a whole, and their betting odds to win the World Series in 2024. Let’s get it started:

Odds to Win American League West:

The American League West will once again be very interesting. The Rangers were not favored last season, and still made plenty of hay in the postseason. The Houston Astros, despite having a new manager, are the favorites in the American League West. The Astros are listed at even money. The Texas Rangers are 2/1 odds, while Seattle comes in at 3/1 odds. The Angels and Athletics are given odds that basically indicate they have no chance of competing. In terms of betting odds, the Rangers and Mariners at getting that kind of odds look like they could be worth betting on! If you can get the defending World Series Champions and double your money on them to win a five team division, it seems like a great bet.

Odds to Win American League:

The Texas Rangers come into the season as +650 to win the American League. That is the fourth best odds. While those seem like very interesting odds, we always go back to how difficult it is to repeat that success. Hot and cold streaks seem to hit hard in Major League Baseball. The postseason can be a quick exit with cold bats, or a really hot pitching staff on the other side. The Houston Astros are the favorites at +400. The New York Yankees with some of their recent additions over the offseason are listed at +475, while Baltimore is third at +550. Following the Rangers in betting odds feature the Mariners and Twins at 9/1 and the Blue Jays at +950.

Odds to Win World Series:

The Texas Rangers have the sixth best odds to win the World Series. That would be an incredible feat, to win in back to back seasons. The Rangers took plenty of good fortunes a season ago, and played really solid baseball. The three teams in the American League, Astros, Yankees and Orioles are ahead of them at +800, 1000 and 1200 respectively in terms of odds. Two National League teams have better odds. The Los Angeles Dodgers at +350, and Atlanta Braves at +450. Behind the Rangers are the Phillies +1500, Blue Jays, Mariners and Twins at +2000.

The Roster Intact

The offense is still once again going to be loaded with talent. Corey Seager had an outstanding season, and is now playing his age 30 season. Adolis Garcia had a monster breakout season, and is the big bopper in the lineup. Texas signed him to an extension in the offseason. They hope to see his improvement and if they get the Garcia that was in the postseason, he will be in line for a MVP type season.

The Rangers also have young talent. 22 year old Wyatt Langford is projected to get a ton of at bats in left field for the Rangers.. He will be joined by Josh Jung at third base, and Evan Carter floating where he is needed. This is going to be an incredible talented offense team again in 2024.

The starting rotation is certainly aging. As of this, the Rangers had yet to sign Jordan Montgomery, and was a free agent. Max Scherzer is going to be 40. Jacob DeGrom is 36, and still unsure how healthy he is. Jon Gray is 32, Nathan Eovaldi will be 35 years old. There are a ton of questions about the pitching staff. But, there is a reason they brought over Mike Maddux to lead this rotation and bullpen. The Rangers will certainly need some help from their young arms, and that is going to be a make or break spot for this team and their chances to repeat.

Texas Rangers 2024 Schedule:

The Texas Rangers get the chance to raise the banner of the World Series at home to start the season. The Rangers will host the Chicago Cubs to open the season on March 28th, and then finish the series on March 30th and 31st. After that, they immediately take a road trip to Tampa, to face the Rays for their first three road games of the season. It is an odd start to the season, as they head back home and host the Astros for four and Oakland for three. Those are the first 10 games for the Rangers in 2024.

Texas will play everyone in Major League Baseball, as part of the balanced schedule. This is the second season for it. The Rangers will face Toronto and Seattle for six games, as their final home stand of the season. That will take place from September 17th – September 22nd. The final six games of the season for Texas will take place on the road. The Rangers start with three games at Oakland, and then finish with three games at the Angels.

We hope you enjoyed our look at the Texas Rangers 2024 season rundown. They certainly are going to be a team to watch as the 2024 season arrives and continues forward. We are excited to see them play their first game at the end of March. That series against the Cubs will certainly have all sorts of eyes on. Everyone wants to see how the Rangers respond from their big time success in 2024. Enjoy the season and best of luck! In the end, we like the Rangers odds to win the division, but would probably pass on winning the American League and World Series.
