The Texas Rangers are in freefall, plummeting from division lead to second place after a brutal five-game skid that ended with a sweep — now staring down the barrel of a Wild Card race they may not survive. Since the All-Star break, their pitching has collapsed, surrendering runs at an alarming rate (second-worst ERA in MLB), while their offense, led by flashes from Joc Pederson and Wyatt Langford, can’t keep pace. With the trade deadline looming, the front office might be forced into a sell-off if things don’t turn around fast. Tonight’s showdown against the Giants — who’re also reeling and could be sellers — hinges on whether the Rangers’ bats can ignite against steady ace Logan Webb. One week. One chance.
