LAAAAAA Angels (78-81) at Texas Rangers (89-70)




You know, when the Rangers clinched the AL West, a song came to mind, which I have been itching to share...if you aren't into the 'hard rock' style of music, then it probably isn't your flavor then, but all the same, here's the clincher.The Rangers can win out against the Angels to finish with 92 wins, the prediction made by Nolan Ryan before the season started.




I could go into the statistics of why Hunter will do well and Weaver will not... however, all I can say is this. I saw the hitters for the Angels at the game yesterday, and they are not up to snuff. I expect more auditions for the Angels 2011 roster to continue for the rest of the series, with some starters sprinkled in... and that favors the Rangers in a great way. I don't think that made too big a difference yesterday, but today it will, in that the Rangers are getting the starters back into the lineup to fine tune and get a rhythm going into the post-season. Josh Hamilton comes back into the lineup tonight. What does that mean offensively? A great deal. He will still be used sparingly, as I have heard, but he will get at least a couple of at-bats.
Forecast: Rangers win #90 with a score of, I don't know, 5-3 sounds good.
