That object rapidly approaching in the rear view mirror is the Texas Rangers' locomotive, kiddies. And don't look now....they're only 2 games out now.
Since May 3rd, when the Astros were 18-7 and the Rangers were 8-16, the two teams have been on different paths; (H-town) 16-21 and 23-11 (Big D) respectively.
Texas, by the way, also boasts a MLB best road record, 20-12.....which might prove helpful if / when playoffs roll around come autumn.
After it's all said and done, it may be the a-hole L.A. Angels or the Oakland A's who end up winning this division come Aug - Sept; who knows, right? Lots and lots of baseball remains to be played...........
