Rangers continue their home success with big win over Seattle. I have felt all year it would take 90 wins to take the West but with Houston hot again and Seattle still in striking distance of 90 I have started to think 91 or 92 might be needed. Any way you look at it though, the math on all of those numbers really favors the Rangers now. To get to 92 wins the Rangers just need to go 14-16 over these last 30 while the Astros who have 31 games left would have to go 23-8 and Seattle (also with 31 left) would have to go 24-7 and that would just be to tie. At 91 wins the Rangers need only go 13-17 and if 90 is enough just 12-18, correspondingly Houston would need to go 22-9 or 21-10 meaning a minimum clip of over .670 ball for a full month just to get to 90 wins, Seattle would have to go 23-8 or 22-9. With 9 more games with Seattle and Houston coming up in this stretch even a 4-5 record in them would make that math even more tilted to the Rangers as we head into the home stretch. Rangers just need to keep Viper busy with that magic number update.
