A lot of change in the Tankapalooza standings since we last checked in. The Pirates are no longer the worst team. That dubious honor now belongs to the Texas Rangers, who have been tanking at a rate even worse than the Diamondbacks, having lost eighteen of their last 21 contests [Arizona are 5-16 over that time]. Having begun 10-9, they are now 13-27, one game ahead of a three-way tie on a .333 W%, between Boston, Pittsburgh and Kansas City. Arizona sit one and a half games further back, currently in line for the fifth pick. With this series coming up against the team with the best record in the entire majors, they may be in line for further losses.
Preview #43: 9/8, Diamondbacks vs. Dodgers
