SERIES IMPORTANTE / IMPORTANT SERIES

Baseball is a game that is full of strategies, different managers and coaches as well as players, own them to put them into practice on the field, there are different types of strategists, there are some who prefer to go day by day with their teams, others go in search of streaks that allow them to advance and transcend in the season and others rely on the fact of winning series, how so? yes, there are managers who focus all their attention on winning series, because they are the ones that allow them to advance more comfortably in a season as long as the MLB season of 162 games, without falling so much in the anxiety and commitment to win it long before, one of the managers who used this strategy a lot, that more than that is a way to lead a team, was Lou Piniella, mostly known for his success with the Seattle Mariners and Chicago Cubs, and thanks to that is why I am going to talk a little bit about the most impacting series of the next weekend that will surely be attractive for many reasons.

TEXAS / TEXAS

Next weekend's series at Global Life Field will feature the Texas Rangers taking on the New York Yankees, starting on Thursday through Sunday, the first time the New York Rangers have visited this venue since last season, when in the last series of the season, they would see one of their players, Aaron Judge, break the record for most home runs in a season for a Yankee (62), The New York Yankees will be in history when one of its members, Aaron Judge, broke the record for most home runs in a season for a Yankee (62), but this time, in 2023, something different, because they will be facing the Rangers, leaders in their division and with a totally different protagonism than in that historic moment of the record.

The attraction of this series is precisely that, that the Rangers are not the losing team of the last five seasons, where they accumulated seasons of up to 90 losses in their records, now with a manager like Bruce Bochy extremely successful in the past, They are currently in first place over the Astros and Mariners, teams that are expected to be favorites this season, and facing the Yankees, who are always very attractive in a series against them, will be a litmus test on their way to continue leading this division, which will become really interesting if they continue to do so.

NUEVA YORK / NEW YORK

The first of the year, since the end of the 90's and the beginning of this century, Mets and Braves have starred in one of the rivalries of this modern era that has caused the greatest impact in terms of division, from this period of time until today, Both teams have not let go of those old contests where they have had as a dispute the National League ''East'' pennant, taking the top honors almost always those of Atlanta, that is no reason that in this 2023 and after a 2022 where the two teams reached the hundred wins, that rivalry will end or become something that passes to the background.

La batalla comienza el día viernes y culmina el próximo día lunes, abarcando 4 partidos que de seguro, marcaran el primer rumbo de esta temporada, si tomamos en cuenta que son rivales directos y ambos están liderando esta división del ‘‘Este’’, Atlanta con 16-8 y Nueva York con 14-10 con apenas 2 juegos de diferencia, uno de los dos a partir de aquí, encabezará esta locacion de la liga de una manera más clara, si tomamos en cuenta el desempeño de estos 2 equipos y si nos atrevemos a hacer una predicción es algo complicado, los de Nueva York están en una buena posición, debido a que vienen de una gira exitosa por toda la costa ‘‘Oeste’’ frente a Atléticos, Dodgers y Gigantes con registro de (7-3) y los Bravos fueron barridos por los Padres (0-3), pero vienen de ganar 2 en fila entre lunes y martes, todo puede suceder, porque estos conjuntos suelen ser otros en este tipo de series y seremos testigos de 4 partidos verdaderamente de alto nivel.

The battle begins on Friday and ends next Monday, covering 4 games that for sure, will mark the first course of this season, if we take into account that they are direct rivals and both are leading this ''East'' division, Atlanta with 16-8 and New York with 14-10 with just 2 games difference, one of the two from here, will lead this location of the league in a clearer way, if we take into account the performance of these 2 teams and if we dare to make a prediction is somewhat complicated, New York is in a good position, because they come from a successful tour all over the West Coast against the Athletics, Dodgers and Giants with a 7-3 record and the Braves were swept by the Padres (0-3), but they come from winning 2 in a row between Monday and Tuesday, anything can happen, because these teams are usually others in this type of series and we will witness 4 truly high level games.

CIUDAD DE MÉXICO / MEXICO CITY

If we look at the positions of the San Diego Padres and San Francisco Giants in the ''West'' of the National League, we observe that they occupy third and fourth place respectively, these may not be the attraction of a series of 2 games to be played between Saturday and Sunday of the weekend ahead, The striking thing is that it will be in Mexico City, for the first time since the 2018 season and with a history of 5 regular season series in this country, it will be played in Mexican territory, being now the first time that they will play in the capital of this nation, since the five previous ones were played in the interior of the Aztec territory.

Actually I didn't know about this park, nicknamed the ''Diamond of fire'' the beautiful Alfredo Harp Helu stadium for many architectural aspects, will host these two commitments that more than showing us something more is rather part of the baseball expansion worldwide in its second stage, because in the month of June will be played a second series outside the U.S. territory in the city of London, England, UK to continue increasing baseball tradition in different parts, now in Europe, in order to bring this sport to the last corner of planet earth, in England, United Kingdom to continue increasing the baseball tradition in different parts, now in Europe, in order to take this sport to the last corner of planet earth, I think they will be very successful this pair of series, because of how serious and organized has always been the MLB, ''The future of baseball is here''.

HASTA LA PRÓXIMA / SEE YOU NEXT TIME
