The Detroit Tigers return from the All-Star Break with a three-game series against the Texas Rangers, starting on Friday night.

The Detroit Tigers play their first series after the All-Star break against the Texas Rangers at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas.

Despite having a record below .500, the Texas Rangers had some bright spots — namely, the pitching and some recent success at the plate.

The bad: According to Tankathon’s strength of schedule index, home or away, the Rangers schedule is difficult. With their remaining opponents having a .513 composite winning percentage, the schedule ranks as the sixth toughest. The glimmer here: Boston’s is tougher at .516.
