A Perfect 10 for the Home Team.

The Angels are 9 1/2 games ahead of Seattle in the American League West with 18 games to play, and their magic number to clinch their third division title in four years is 10.

Starting next week on Thursday is a series that a few weeks ago seemed like one for the ages… Well one for this season to hang on starts. But with the stellar play of our friends from the north it could be either the plateau for a celebration or just another meaningless series until the playoffs start.

There are nine games between then and now and if both teams continue playing as they have over the past two weeks we should have this thing wrapped up some time before next Wednesday.

The Halos continue play this series against the O’s and then continue over to Chicago for a three game series followed by a three game series at home versus Tampa Bay. Seattle then comes to town for that previously mentioned explosive series before we finish on the road against Texas and then Oakland.

A magic number of ten with eighteen to play - not even the 1995 Angels could have blown this one.
