Buy: Texas Rangers (73-64)
Sitting just one game behind the Houston Astros for the division lead and 2.5 games ahead of the Minnesota Twins for the second Wild Card spot, the Rangers are in a real good position to make the playoffs. Assuming the Astros take care of business and win the AL West and the Toronto Blue Jays hold on to win the AL East, Texas could very well take the first Wild Card spot. Of course those are some major assumptions, but the Rangers can essentially control their own destiny.
Remember, this is the team that came back after being down 10 games in the AL West just a couple months ago so they are hot, and hot teams always make a run come playoff time. With the addition of ace Cole Hamels, who survived a scary line drive on Wednesday night, and their new-found timely home run hitting, the Rangers are armed for a pivotal four-game series with the Houston Astros. If the Rangers can take that series, or at least two games, they will be in a great spot to enter October.
