The Texas Rangers are looking for their path to the postseason.It is hard to say exactly how they can get there if it isn't by winning their division.
I personally think the Wild Card race will be too cluttered for them to win it.Last year, the third Wild Card spot had a record of 87-75, and I don't see the Rangers getting to be 12 games over .500 this season.

In the first outing, he allowed one earned run over six innings.Then last time, he allowed seven earned runs in five innings.Texas Rangers Giving Away Blood-Stained Nolan Ryan JerseysThe Los Angeles Angels, as usual, haven't had much go right this season and do not have a path to the playoffs.
That may be an overstatement; they technically aren't eliminated, but they have the worst record in baseball.The team did make some decent moves at the trade deadline, but they were for the future, not things that will make a difference this year.
They have an aggressive owner, but he mostly spends on guys who are headed toward the end of their careers.Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Reid Detmers throws to the plate during the first inning of a baseball game against the Arizona Diamondbacks Sunday, July 2, 2023, in Anaheim, Cal...
