The Texas Rangers had a magnificent final two months. During August, September, and the first four days of October, they went 38-22, which is a winning percentage of 63.3. That computes to 102.5 victories over the course of a 162-game season. If Prince Fielder comes out of his slump and if Josh Hamilton continues his fine hitting of the past few days, the Rangers will be hard to beat. They have three solid starting pitchers (Derek Holland, Colby Lewis, and Cole Hamels), excellent set-up men, and a top-notch closer (Shawn Tolleson). Their manager, Jeff Banister, is superb.
