Do Articles/blogs rank better versus Pages?
If yes, how do you target keywords for articles versus pages? Do you write content for both targeting the same keyword?
What’s your strategy for this?

Neither one ranks better on its own just based on the type of page it is, if that’s what you’re asking.

Ranking: It’s often much more difficult to get a landing page to rank highly in organic search. A blog post format gives you more room to include relevant SEO keywords and answer the intent of the searcher, so blog posts are often easier to get ranking highly.

If you mean “page” vs. “post” in WordPress there is no difference (in rankings).
Thats just what WordPress calls different page types internally.
If you use WooCommerce it adds a new post type called “product”, if you use some event plugin it usually adds an “event” post type, etc.
Most people use posts for everything that is not “contact page”, “about page”, “cookie information”, etc (in that case you use page).
If you add the same content to a page or a post, they will rank the same.
*But* with that said, posts in WordPress have some pros:
– You can add categories/tags, which can be useful for internal linking and navigation
– Posts show up in your “latest posts” widgets and on your homepage (if you show latest posts), and that can also be useful for internal linking and easier navigation
– Most theme only shows author and other info in post templates (and not in page templates)So even if there is no difference if you add the same content as a “page” or a “post”, you will often get “better SEO” if you use posts. That is because when you add lots of posts it’s easier to use categories/tags and other things that can be good for SEO if you do it right.

It doesn’t matter, I mean, if you want to rank with a blog or an article, you can, but it’s how you write them that counts. You can write an article on Medium or a press release site, and it can rank on Google as fast as a blog post on a website if you focus on the keyword that you want to rank for. If you meant a page or a post, the difference is that the page is your money page and your posts are your content. I hope that makes sense and helps you out.
