Angels close in on AL West champion Rangers

Just recently, in a game between the Los Angeles Angels and the Texas Rangers, the Angels inched ahead in the standings by defeating their opponents on the field. They are now just three and a half games away from the Rangers' lead in the American League West.

Usually, the Angels are the underdog team. Just like something straight out of a college wonder-team of students at a university who defeat their rivals, the Angels have done considerable damage to the Yankees, who have usually just bowled over anyone they play.

Whether they were the California Angels, or the Anaheim Angels, the team cannot escape their underdog spirit (in Orange County or Los Angeles County!). The Rangers have been great as of late, taking up division leads like it was nothing.

Now, the Angels have finally secured a truly underdog position, rising to the top after streaks of wins to attempt a grab at the Rangers' coveted lead position. What will develop as the two teams race to the top? Will either of them still be at the top when the season ends?

As the season passes on, we shall all see.
