The Angels' loss to the White Sox, coupled with the 10-3 win by the Texas Rangers in Oakland over the A's, has eliminated the Angels from the playoffs. At 75-78, the best record the Angels could hope for is 84-78, but the win by the Rangers tonight was their 85th of the season.
The Rangers' magic number to clinch the division is two, meaning any combination of Ranger wins and Oakland losses that add up to two will give Texas the American League West division title.
