Major League Baseball teams play 162 games. A year ago, at the halfway point of the season, the Texas Rangers were 52-29, which is a winning percentage of 64.1. The Rangers finished 95-67 and won the West Division title by nine games over the Seattle Mariners. This year, things are different. The Rangers are 40-41, which is a winning percentage of 49.3. They're 14 games behind the Houston Astros in the all-important loss column. This is too much ground to make up, even if the Rangers' abysmal pitching staff were to come around. The Rangers have a chance to win the second wild-card spot, but that's it.
