The Los Angeles Angels are doing very well this year. There record at 90-60 leads the American league west by 7 games this year.

If the Angels win 6 more games, they will clinch the American league west playoff spot. The texas Rangers still have a chance off getting that spot, but only if the Angels choke and win no more games for the rest of the season. Manager Mike Scioscia said that he is not worried so much about the playofs, but just riding out the season with no more problems.

The Angels have just aquired a very important weapon to their lineup. That figure is Scot Kazmir. Kazmir is a left handed pitcher, who in 2006 led the league in strikeouts. Kazmi came from the Tampa Bay Rays, who unexpectedly made it to the World Series in 2008.
