Contrarian Opinions: Texas Rangers are on the Rise

-

     Rangers’ baseball is going through major changes in 2020. Globe Life Park is becoming Globe Life Field and the laughable Rangers are becoming playoff contenders.  The Rangers used to rule the AL West; from 2010-2016, they had five seasons of 90 or more wins and five playoff appearances. Since then, the team’s been rebuilding and the division has been taken by the Astros. In 2013, the Astros were implanted in the AL West where they would now compete for the rule of Texas baseball with the Rangers. The Astros hadn’t made the playoffs since 2005 and their drought would continue 10 more years, until 2015. After years of tanking, the Astros had constructed an analytically driven front office and managed to build an elite farm system. In 2015 and 2016, hints of the remodeled Astros showed but never anything to marvel at. In 2017, everything changed.

Remaining NFL Teams Make a Case for Super Bowl

Kansas City Chiefs Coming off of his all-time, MVP season, quarterback Patrick Mahomes has negatively regressed as expected. Though not as great as last year, Mahomes is still the best in the league. Surrounded by an offense with speed at every position, most importantly wide receiver Tyreek Hill, Mahomes has no problem launching the ball deep. Complemented by another speed threat in running back Damien Williams, the Chiefs offense is a threat to be reckoned with. In Mahomes’ second playoff run, expect him to take a step forward from his playoff campaign last year. A vital reason for that is the defense. Though not great, in the latter half of the season when they began playing man coverage, the unit has been slightly above average which is enough to bring this historic offense to the Super Bowl.
