Texas Rangers season undone by struggles away from Globe Life Field

There's is an axiom in professional sports that generally holds true each and every year. If a team can go .500 on the road and be well-above .500 at home, then you will likely have a successful season.

The Rangers' 2025 road woes proved this to be true, as they ultimately became their undoing all season long and down the stretch. The Rangers are on the outside looking in and even though they haven't been officially eliminated, if they could have performed better away from Globe Life Field, they would be in the thick of the playoff race.

The Rangers were one of the worst road teams in the American League this season

With three road games remaining against Cleveland, the team has a dismal road record of 32-46, the third-worst mark in the American League. Only the bottom-feeding Minnesota Twins and Chicago White Sox have been worse.

Although the pitching and defense traveled very well for the organization, it was a season-long lack of success at the plate that mostly contributed to the team's road problems.

The Rangers pitchers maintained a road ERA that was in the top half of baseball, but offensively, they are hitting .242 away from Globe Life, which ranks in the bottom half of the league.

The late-season sweep at hands of Astros in Houston effectively ended the Rangers' season

When the Rangers played a crucial three-game road series against the Houston Astros from September 15-17, they were sporting a 79-71 record and were two games back of the Astros for a wild-card spot.

In the process of being swept, the Rangers scored just 10 runs in three games and found themselves a full 5 games out of the postseason with only 12 games left to play. Realistically, the season was over at that point.

There inability to hit during that make-or-break road series became their death knell. They are currently riding a 7-game losing skid. The first four losses came on the road, and unfortunately the Rangers look to have raised the white flag on the season.
