The Major League Baseball regular season may end October 3, but with the way the Texas Rangers have been rolling lately, it would come as no surprise if the Rangers were to represent the American League West in the playoffs.
Rangers Running Wild in AL West
Texas has one of the most prolific offenses in MLB (2nd in Batting Average and 7th in Runs Batted In), but unlike recent years, they also possess a toxic pitching staff. The Rangers are 9th in Earned Run Average, 10th in Strikeouts and 4th in Saves.
Since a 3-8 first-half finish to only lead the Los Angeles Angels by 4.5 games, Texas won nine of their next 11 to extend their AL-West lead to 8.5 games over LA and the Oakland Athletics on July 27.
