OAKLAND, Calif. -- In the final days of the season, a dramatic race heats up between a certain first ballot Hall of Famer and the Rangers' Rougned Odor.

That's good, right?

No, in this case - with the title of Most Wasteful Run Producer at stake - it is not good at all.

In a fit of failed swings, Odor stranded six runners in the Rangers' costly 4-1 loss to Oakland on Friday night. In doing so, he moved into second in the American League in most runners stranded with 256. He trails the Angels' Albert Pujols, a magnificent player in steep decline, by 10.

The 0 for 3 night dropped him to .185 with runners in scoring position this season, the seventh-lowest RISP average in the AL. With two outs and RISP, it's even a tick lower: .183. And that's for the fifth-most two-out RISP at-bats in the league (71).

Good post. Bad news.

Yeah, but in his defense... I got nothing. That's beyond awful.

3.5 back with 9 to play? Definitely not looking good.

At this point.....

I'd be glad to go home and take our chances with 2.5 back and 7 to play.

Need 2 wins probably and 1 Twinkie loss to Detroit. Win on Monday and I think we'd be 2 back In that scenario because Twinkies are idle.

6 to go with 2 back would still be a possibility. Heck even forcing a tie of some kind would be awesome.

At this point in time, evaluating Elvis' contract vs results, has he been worth it?

Yes no question.

Look at how much of a shit show the position was before he came along.

Heads up: 8:00 start time tonight. A little better for sleepy heads.

Thank God for small favors. Man, I wish baseball would re-align and put teams in more advantageous situations.

Even if the Rangers win out the rest of the way, MIN would have to lose 4 times for the Rangers to pass them. And I just don't see either of those happening.

I'd gladly take a tie at this point. Not likely I know
