and the team is damn good too.
This Arlington team is better than either of the ones that won the pennant a decade ago.

With vintage Scherzer? Sure seems like it.
Will the Astros catch the Rangers? Maybe, maybe not, maybe fuck yourself.
I agree this team is running out of time to catch the Rangers. Not to mention the Rangers aren’t doing their part, lol.
I still think this team is going to nut up in the playoffs, but it would be nice to, set the rotation, have more home games and have to win only 11games and not 13.
I still love the Astros schedule vs the Rangers schedule though.
After tonight: Rangers have 41g and Astros have 40.
They play each other 3 times and the Astros need to win 1 to secure the tiebreaker.
They have 14 common games vs common opponents.
Astros other 23 games: 6 vs KC, 4 vs Bos, 3 vs Det, 3 vs NYY, 3 vs SD, 3 vs Bal, 1 vs Ari.
Rangers other 24 games: 7 vs Min, 4 vs Tor, 3 vs Mil, 3 vs NYM, 3 vs Cle, 3 vs LAA, 1 vs Sea.
The Astros play games in 13 consecutive days Friday, then have every Thursday off in September never playing more than 6 games in a row.
After September 7th, the Rangers play 23 games in 24 days to finish the season.
I like the Astros. I just don’t know if I like the Astros by 4 games.
