Races Tightening Up

The Texas Rangers and the Florida Marlins have both put themselves right back into the playoff races after having great weekend series. The Rangers took 2/3 from the Angels and the Marlins swept the Phillies. The Rangers are now just 3.5 behind the Angels and the Marlins 4 back of the Phillies. Both teams are well with in striking range, but the question is can they maintain the pace. The Rangers have a better shot then the Marlins. The Rangers have a solid roster and have been competitive all year. The Marlins have done very well to get back in the race, but they don't have the talent to keep up with the Phillies. The Giants have pulled to 5.5 behind the Dodgers and have a great opportunity to get back into the race as they are about to start a series with LA. If the Giants can win that series they will be right in it.
