The Texas Rangers return home from their quick trip to Atlanta with the American League West lead. But only slightly.

The Rangers (50-49) lost two out of three to the Atlanta Braves this weekend and are just one-half game behind the Seattle Mariners (50-50), who took two out of three from the San Francisco Giants in their first series after the All-Star break.

The division is starting to look like a two-horse race. The Rangers are how four games ahead of the Houston Astros (47-54), who are in third place and were swept by the Baltimore Orioles this weekend. Houston has lost four straight and seven of their last 10 games and their case for working trades at the deadline to get better is growing short.

As for the Rangers, so long as they stay in first place, president of baseball operations Chris Young can make a case with ownership to make some moves to try and bolster a playoff push. Just how much ownership will allow Young to spend is up for debate. The deadline is Aug. 3.

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