Obviously the Texas Rangers would have loved to clinch the division while in front of their home crowd. Instead they may actually end up clinching the division while at dinner Thursday night a day before their series against the Athletics.
Having the chance to clinch at home is something that the Rangers were not in control of but what they can control is the opportunity to get their magic number down to 1. The Texas Rangers would need to beat Jared Weaver and the Angels in order to have the chance to clinch while on an off day.
