the World Series will be Texas versus Arizona, with the Rangers winning it (in 6 games) because they're hungrier for it than the D'Backs. i son't see how it could be any other two teams.

Winner of the AL West: Rangers
Winner of the Wildcard: Angels

It could be interchangable. But the Rangers are going back to red... and in six seasons in the red, they went post three times. And there was another season they finished first but there wasn't a post season and they were ten games under 500... but let's not bring that up. 67% of the time in wearing Ranger Red, they did enough to finish tops.
