The Texas Rangers may not be perfect right now, but they’ve stormed back into the playoff picture—and even the AL West race—just as the Houston Astros and Seattle Mariners start to stumble. Tuesday night highlighted the cracks in Houston’s armor when Framber Valdez clashed with his own catcher, Cesar Salazar, after serving up a grand slam to the Yankees.

Meanwhile, Bruce Bochy’s Rangers have quietly won 8 of their last 11 games despite missing several stars. With Houston’s lead shrinking and Seattle feeling the pressure, Texas has a golden opportunity to keep climbing.

In this episode, we break down:

⚾ How Houston’s meltdown could open the door for Texas

⚾ Why Valdez’s frustration shows deeper problems for the Astros

⚾ How the Rangers’ resilience is fueling their late-season surge

Can the Rangers complete the comeback and steal the division? Let’s talk about it.
