AL West Race Is Now Up For Grabs!

Arlington, TX- The Texas Rangers and the LA Angels are facing in a crucial AL West match-up this weekend. The beginning of this week Texas had a 4 game lead on the Halos, their lead has been wittled down to 2 games. The beginning of a crucial weekend series could set the tone on who will win the AL West. The Angels are coming into Texas with a six game winning streak on the line, and have been very hot. The Rangers just came off a series beating by the Boston Redsox, and the pitching staff has given up a total of 30 runs in the last three games all earned runs. Texas is glad to get the Bosox out of town. The Rangers shutout the Redsox on Monday night 4-0, but no offense sense.

The pitching match-ups for the AL West clash are below:

Dan Haren (13-6) vs Derek Holland (11-5)
Ervin Santana (9-9) vs C.J Wilson (13-5)
Jared Weaver (15-6) vs Colby Lewis (11-9)

Texas has had their way with the Angels thus far this year, but they also had their way with Boston until the four game series this week. Rangers and Angels do match-up well against each other, so tune in and watch the crucial match-up this weekend. If your a die hard baseball fan this series you will want to look in on.
