The 2023 MLB season is starting soon, with our Texas teams looking to make it to October. Rip previews the defending World Series Champions, the Houston Astros, as they look to be the first team to repeat since the New York Yankees did it in the late 1990s. The Texas Rangers will look like an utterly different team in 2023 as they finally have their ace and a pitching staff that will hopefully get them into October.
