The 40-21 Texas Rangers, with the second-best document in baseball, remain in Tampa to face the 46-19 Rays, who have the very best record in baseball. * If you want to be nit-picking you can say that they are the two teams with the very best documents in MLB, however not necessarily the 2 ideal teams. Fangraphs, for instance, predicts the Rangers to have the 16th finest record from now to the end of the year. However, that creates a longer, more unpleasant and also less punchy heading.
