Playing it safe

The reason the Texas Rangers will win the AL West: The California Angels are panicking and pitching their studs on three-days rest.

Meanwhile, the Rangers can pretty much put whoever on the mound and get a win.

They won 3-0 Sunday against Seattle with Matty Harrison getting win No. 13 leaving all five regular starters with at least 13 wins. It was the Rangers' 19th shutout as a team. By far the most for the franchise and the most in the American League since 2002.

The Rangers took two of three from Seattle and thanks to the Baltimore Orioles stretched to a 4.5 game lead in the division (as of this minute ... go Blue Jays!).

Notes:
1. Elvis Andrus has 34 extra-base hits. Had 18 a year ago. Thirty-one the his rookie year.

2. Rangers bullpen Saturday and Sunday: 5.2 IP - 0 hits - 0 runs - 0 BBs - 11 Ks.

3. Magic number (as of right now): 6.

4. In Mike Napoli's six-game hit streak: 12 hits, four doubles, a homer, four runs, three RBI.

5. Adrian Beltre has 94 RBI. After missing a month. Hitting .354 with sever homers in September.
