Entering this series, the Rangers have played the fourth-most difficult schedule in MLB with their opponents combining for a .517 winning percentage. The rest of their schedule does not get easier, as it is ranked as the second-most difficult remaining schedule with a combined .531 winning percentage.

The Indians, on the other hand, have the easiest remaining schedule, with its opponents combining for a .439 winning percentage. Cleveland is scheduled to play 16 more games this season against teams currently at .500 or better, the fewest in MLB.

In the live-ball era (since 1920), there have been three pitchers who have recorded at least 175 strikeouts, while allowing six or fewer home runs in their first 20 starts of the season: Trevor Bauer in 2018, Pedro Martinez with Boston in 1999, and Sam McDowell with Cleveland in 1965.

During his 51-game on-base streak, Shin-Soo Choo has slashed .337/.469/.596 with 13 home runs, 65 hits, and 47 walks. Choo, however, has a career .308 on-base percentage against the Indians, his lowest against any opponent.

On at-bats that end on fastballs, Jose Ramirez is slashing .335/.419/.772, with 26 of his 29 home runs. The next closest player to Ramirez on home runs versus fastballs is Bryce Harper with 17.

Elvis Andrus is a career .372 hitter against the Indians in 275 plate appearances. In the last 100 years, only Nomar Garciaparra (.374) has a higher batting average against Cleveland (minimum 250 PA).

Cleveland has enjoyed a successful first half of the 2018 season, leading the American League Central by 7 1/2 games as it continues play after the All-Star break.
But the Indians expect to be even better during the final 2 1/2 months that begin Friday against the Texas Rangers when the teams return after the All-Star break.

Indians want to pick up pace after break starting vs. Rangers

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP)  Both of Cleveland's new relievers got into the game before the Indians closer had a rare blown save.
Manager Terry Francona had to go deep into his bullpen - using seven relievers after All-Star starter Trevor Bauer's early exit - before the big hitters in the heart of the lineup finally put Cleveland ahead to stay.
