Las Vegas - Gonna take a look at the Rangers/Cards game tonight and tell you about something NO ONE saw coming this season. Texas is sitting in 1st place in the A.L. West with a gorgeous 39-20 record. With the Astros in the same division, it's definitely a surprise. But the SHOCKER is St. Louis, sitting at the bottom of the N.L. Central with a 25-35 record. NO ONE saw that coming. Dane Dunning takes the ball tonight for Texas with a 4-1 record and a very stingy 2.06 ERA. If the Rangers lost to the Cardinals last night, put a few extra pieces of gold on 'em this evening.
