Rangers dominate the West


After winning 2 out of 3 against the Angels, the Rangers are 15-4 against the AL West this year. The first place Angels are only 10-14 against the West and Texas is the only team in the division with a winning record.

If Texas can manage to play .500 or ball or slightly better against the rest of the American League this season and continue to play like they do against the West, the Rangers will have no problem winning the division. For some reason Texas struggled against the NL in previous weeks but were doing fine against the AL.

7 of the next 10 games are all against the West and on the road. It will be crucial for the team to go 4-3 against Seattle and LA. And based on the numbers so far this year, we have no reason not to believe that they go and have a winning record on that road trip. Hamilton is supposed to come back this weekend and will automatically put fear into opposing pitchers again like he was doing earlier in the season.

So Ranger fans have no fear for games against the West are here!
