Nine games in to a tough 15 game stretch where simply winning eight probably should have been considered fine, the Texas Rangers have already won seven games.
↵In what might represent the best chance their supposed competition to make up ground, the Rangers have stormed through their opponents 62-28, including a fresh 13-10 series victory over probably the second best team in the league. The Angels in that stretch have gone 2-5.
↵Divisions are not clinched in April, but this might be the earliest you could imagine playoff positioning being more of an immediate concern than simply getting in.
↵Let’s hope our expectations can keep getting shattered.
