ARLINGTON, Texas — On Saturday afternoon, before the hot streak had really set in, the pregame Rangers conversation between manager Chris Woodward and the media centered mostly on the case of Corey Seager, the pretty unlucky one.
“If pretty means the most unlucky,” Woodward retorted.
Entering Monday, Seager’s season from the plate had been a dichotomy between the expected and the actual. According to Statcast, his batting average was .059 points behind his expected batting average, marking the fifth-worst difference in the entire league. His slugging percentage and weighted on base average tell similar stories.
