New week, new series. #AllForTX https://t.co/Zd0INnoI0G

What happened: The Texas Rangers are preparing to host Los Angeles for the opening game of a fresh series at Globe Life Field. The organization signaled the start of the week with its "#AllForTX" campaign.

Why it matters: Securing victories against a struggling opponent offers a prime opportunity to move above the break-even mark. The club is attempting to gain ground in a tight pennant race ahead of the All-Star break.

By the numbers: Texas enters the contest with a 45-45 record, sitting 1.5 games behind the first-place Seattle Mariners in the American League West. The Angels bring a 36-55 mark, trailing by 11.0 games at the bottom of the division.

What to watch: First pitch is scheduled for 7:05 p.m. local time on Tuesday.
