Texas Rangers Power Rankings - 2013
| Power Ranking | ||||
| WEEK | RECORD | RANK | COMMENT | |
| Week 12 | 38-31 | 10 | In losing six straight, all at home, the Rangers hit just .221 as a team with three home runs and they failed to score more than two runs in any of the games. That matched the franchise record for most games in a row scoring that few runs, last done in 1986. -- David Schoenfield, SweetSpot | |
| Week 11 | 37-25 | 6 | The Rangers won on Sunday to move back into first place, but as a team they're hitting just .209 with a .286 OBP in June. They need to get more production from Elvis Andrus (.305 OBP, no HRs) in the leadoff spot. -- David Schoenfield, SweetSpot | |
| Week 10 | 35-21 | 2 | Robbie Ross got the loss on Saturday, but the back three relief of Joe Nathan, Tanner Scheppers and Ross have been the Rangers' secret weapon with a combined 7-1 record and 1.29 ERA. -- David Schoenfield, SweetSpot | |
| Week 9 | 32-18 | 1 | Having played 10 games against the Mariners and six against the Astros, the Rangers have benefited from the second-easiest schedule in the majors so far. Of course, that may not change if Seattle and Houston remain this bad. -- David Schoenfield, SweetSpot | |
| Week 8 | 29-15 | 1 | The Rangers have surged to the best record in baseball on the strength of an impressive 12-4 run over their last 16 games -- one which includes six wins in seven contests against the division-leading Red Sox and Tigers. -- Joey Matschulat, Baseball Time in Arlington | |
| Week 7 | 24-13 | 2 | The Rangers continue to beat up on their AL West "rivals" as they're now 14-5 against the Astros, Angels and Mariners. And their first series of the year against a slumping and beat-up A's team starts on Monday. -- David Schoenfield, SweetSpot | |
| Week 6 | 20-11 | 2 | Yu Darvish has allowed three or fewer runs in six of his seven starts. He also leads the majors with 72 strikeouts. -- ESPN.com | |
| Week 5 | 16-9 | 1 | Rookie right-hander Nick Tepesch has pitched well in four starts, having compiled a 2.53 ERA in 21 1/3 innings. -- ESPN.com | |
| Week 4 | 12-6 | 6 | Yu Darvish leads the majors in strikeouts (38) and has a .144 batting average against. -- ESPN.com | |
| Week 3 | 8-5 | 7 | Alexi Ogando has pitched well (2-0 with a 1.08 ERA and a .194 batting average against) in his first three starts to begin the season. -- ESPN.com | |
| Week 2 | 4-2 | 6 | Lance Berkman, perhaps the biggest wild card in an overhauled Rangers lineup, has more than fulfilled expectations thus far with a monstrous .450/.542/.750 opening week of the season. -- Joey Matschulat, Baseball Time in Arlington | |
| Week 1 | 0-1 | 10 | The Rangers fell hard on Opening Night, but stole the overnight headlines, reportedly nearing an eight-year deal worth as much as $120 million with Elvis Andrus that will keep him in Texas almost into the next decade. -- Joey Matschulat, Baseball Time in Arlington | |
