WEST SACRAMENTO, CA — The Texas Rangers have already won tonight, and the drama in the American League West is heating up bigtime.

If the Astros lose, the Rangers will go into Game 162 with a 1 game lead in the West and will win the division with a win or a Houston loss.  
  
If the Astros win, the division is tied once again with HOU holding the tiebreaker. Texas must win and Houston must lose for the Rangers to take the division.
