Players to Watch: Texas Rangers vs. St. Louis Cardinals
Texas Rangers
Josh Jung — 3B. Jung is hitting .316 as the steadiest contact bat in the Rangers’ lineup, with a .372 on-base percentage that keeps him involved near the front of the order. His .495 slugging mark gives Texas a third baseman who can add extra-base impact against McGreevy.
Jake Burger — 1B. Burger brings right-handed power at first base, sitting on 10 home runs and 37 RBIs with a .247 average. He is one of the Rangers’ main middle-order power threats with Seager on the IL, giving Texas another bat that can change the game with one swing.
Jacob deGrom — SP. Texas hands the ball to Jacob deGrom, who carries a 3.77 ERA and a 1.01 WHIP across 59.2 innings, with 70 strikeouts. His 3-4 record does not fully reflect the traffic he has limited, and his command gives Texas a strong starting point against a Cardinals offense hitting .238 as a club.
St. Louis Cardinals
Jordan Walker — RF. Walker is the engine of the Cardinals’ offense, hitting .290 with 15 home runs, 43 RBIs and a .551 slugging percentage. The .357 on-base mark means he is reaching base in front of the middle of the order at a rate the Rangers cannot pitch around easily.
Michael McGreevy — SP. McGreevy has been one of the best run-preventers on the St. Louis staff at 2.98 ERA, with a 1.09 WHIP and 43 strikeouts across 60.1 innings. His 3-4 record reflects scattered run support, and on the numbers he has matched deGrom’s ratios through the first two months.
