Posted by Adrien Griffin Categories: MLB,
There is no division is baseball quite as hot as the American League West is right now. While the three-and-a-half game margin between the first-place Texas Rangers and second-place LA Angels is the widest gap of any playoff race, the Rangers themselves are 8-2 in their last ten games, the Halos and last-place Mariners are 7-3. While the final team is only 5-5 over their last 10, the Athletics are riding a four-game win streak which is the longest current wining streak in the majors.

The Rangers’ record against teams in their own division was 30-27. They went 21-19 against the AL Central and 27-20 against the tough AL East division; the only team they had a losing record to was the New York Yankees. The Rangers also finished 9-9 in Interleague play. How does a team who does this well finish so poorly?
