point to the West

On Wednesday morning to wake up of time, the fans a baseball landscape to lack what usually makes the most fun part of the season: the pennant race.

Each department or wild card race leader, has the advantage of six games, in addition to two or more aluminum, the nl west. (we don't expect the al east in this discussion, because, although the yankees and red sox top draw with, but to ensure that all the division, the other is a wild-card berth.)

As the season prepare to enter it last month, it seems the two western RACES will along the wire winner-take-all. All that prevails in each will early October losers probably from any wild card consideration, stay at home.

The national league west the match will be two games, the diamondbacks leading 2-0 defeat national Tuesday. The giants lost at home on Tuesday 7 San Diego.

The main reason or an infinite west race is due to a lack of other competitors division titles. Before Tuesday, Arizona lost, but still in the six consecutive games for the first time, because they giants 16 loss 23 games.

Arizona get help, unexpected ways Tuesday Sean burroughs hit a two-run Homer play key victory in Washington. Burroughs, a former at the little league world series hero and first-round picks (1998) no major league homered in six years and has played in four large union organization.

"I'm just one link in the chain, and it's great to contribute when I get the opportunity and help these guys any way possible," Burroughs said, according to MLB.com.

Entering the seventh inning, when Burroughs homered, the Diamondbacks had scored one run in their last 32 innings, according to the Arizona Republic. And the struggles could continue if they lose Justin Upton for any length of time, as he left Tuesday's game after getting hit on the elbow with a pitch. The initial diagnosis is a bruise.

The Angels cut their deficit behind to the Texas Rangers to 3 ½ games with a bottom-of-the-ninth win over the Chicago White Sox Tuesday night, sealed when Peter Bourjos single with the bases loaded.

"We're not going to give up," Bourjos said, according to theOrange County (Calif.) Register. "We know how important every game is. We're trying to climb back into it – and I think we've done that."

Three of the five victories have been walk-offs, helping to trim what was a seven-game Rangers lead in the division.

"Oh, we never think we're out of it," the Angels' Torii Hunter said, according to the Associated Press. "There's a lot of faith in this clubhouse."

Texas lost to the Red Sox 11-5 Tuesday. The Dallas Morning News' coverage on Wednesday morning used the occasion of the Red Sox being in town to weigh whether or not Boston would be a favorable playoff opponent.

A playoff berth is hardly sealed, as Texas has a tougher schedule down the stretch than the Angels. The Rangers play 20 of their final 31 games against the Red Sox, Rays, Angels and Indians. The Angels have 33 games left, but play 19 of them against the Mariners, Twins, A's and Orioles and four more against the Blue Jays.

The Rangers and Angels play this weekend in Texas and the final three games of the season in Anaheim.

The Diamondbacks and Giants play Sept. 2-4 in San Francisco and Sept. 23-25 in Phoenix. Other than those series, neither team faces an opponent with a .500 record the rest of the regular season.
