In baseball, Memorial Day is one of those lines of demarcation for the season. It’s a chance for teams to assess where they are and where they’re going.

Excuse the Texas Rangers if they considered that day to be Sunday, their final game of their three-game series against the Chicago Cubs, which Texas won, 3-0. From here, the road ahead should get considerably easy.

It’s not about how the Rangers are playing. Entering Monday’s action against Arizona, the Rangers (19-21) are 6-9 in their last 15 games.

The numbers don’t lie. The MLB schedule makers gave the Rangers a highly difficult road to get to this point. Now, it’s gravy? Well, maybe.
