Angels chasing AL's best record, take on Rangers

Sep 25, 2007 - 2:09 PM LA Angels (92-65) at Texas (73-84) 8:05 pm EDT

ARLINGTON, Texas (Ticker) -- Even with the American League West Division crown already locked up, the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim still have plenty to play for.

The Angels look to continue their pursuit of the American League's best record when they visit the Texas Rangers on Tuesday.

The best record in the league and home-field advantage in the playoffs are still up for grabs for the Angels, who clinched the AL West on Sunday. Anaheim is one game behind the Cleveland Indians (92-63) and one-half game behind the Boston Red Sox (92-64) with five games to play.

The Angels will send Dustin Moseley (4-3, 4.60 ERA) to the hill Tuesday. The 25-year-old has been used mostly as a reliever this season and will be making his eighth start of the season. Moseley has not made a start since August 20 and has not won a decision since May 30.

Moseley will be opposed by Brandon McCarthy (5-10, 4.87), who has lost his last three decisions and is winless since July 31. The 24-year-old righthander is 0-1 in two starts against the Angels this season.

The Rangers, who have won their last three meetings with the Angels this season, defeated Anaheim, 8-7, on Monday.
