The Texas Rangers have officially closed the book on April—well, mostly. In baseball lingo, "April" often includes those early March games, just as "September" spills into October. It's quirky, but we roll with it.

Now 31 games into the 2026 season, it's the perfect time to check in on how the Rangers' offense is shaping up. And the numbers? They tell a bit of a mixed story.

Depending on which advanced metric you trust, the Rangers are either above average, right at average, or slightly below. Fangraphs gives the team a wRC+ of 95, tied for 21st in the majors. Baseball Reference, however, sees a much brighter picture with an OPS+ of 105, ranking 9th. Average those out, and you land at 100—league average by definition. So, take your pick: the Rangers' offense has been good, average, or just okay, depending on your preferred lens.

Why the split? It mostly comes down to how each site adjusts for the Rangers' home ballpark, The Shed. B-R treats it as extremely pitcher-friendly in 2026, while Fangraphs sees it as more neutral. That difference in park factors creates the gap in their overall ratings.

One big factor to keep in mind: the Rangers have faced a brutal early schedule. According to Power Rankings Guru, Texas has played the toughest schedule in MLB so far. ESPN ranks it as the third-toughest. Of their 31 games, 25 have come against teams with an ERA+ of 110 or better. The only breathers? Six games against Baltimore (101 ERA+) and the Phillies (91 ERA+).

The silver lining? The same metric shows the Rangers having the second-easiest schedule for the remainder of the season. So if the offense can stay steady, there's plenty of opportunity ahead.

Let's take a closer look at the individual performances. Below is a Statcast-based chart showing each player's xwOBA (expected weighted on-base average), actual wOBA, and the difference between the two—a key indicator of whether a hitter is outperforming or underperforming their expected production.
