Looking ahead at the series between the Texas Rangers and the San Francisco Giants the probable pitchers reflect what could happen before the trade deadline ends on Monday.

There was only one probable pitcher set for either team as of Sunday night. That was San Francisco Giants right-hander Logan Webb, a pitcher the Giants have declared off limits in trade talks.

San Francisco left San Diego after Sunday’s game to come to Texas with their entire team, but with the understanding that it's likely president of baseball operations Buster Posey would part with several key players by the 5 p.m. central deadline. The Giants (47-65) are out of the playoff race.

Things are far murkier for the Rangers (55-57). A week ago last Monday. the Rangers were in the lead in the AL West and wrapped up a series with Seattle in which they won three out of four games.

Then, Texas went on the road and fell apart. The Rangers won their first game in Tampa Bay and then lost the next five, including three straight to the Houston Astros.

The Rangers enter this series 2.5 games out of first place and 1.5 games out of the final AL wild card berth. But the Rangers had been on the fringes of the division and wild card race all season. Does this mean they sell? Buy? A little of both? No one will be sure until the clock runs out of time Monday evening.

Here is a breakdown of the series, including how to watch, the starting pitchers, Rangers injuries and more.
