The thing is, we're in the short run now, there's only one week left. Every team is prone to the extreme variability of short run baseball. We're one terrible series against the Yankees from a butt clenching weekend. Keep in mind Texas might pretty much have the West clinched by the end of the Angels series, it will impact how competitive they are against Seattle for the return matchup.
This is why I keep saying we're not in yet, playoff probabilities mean little in the short run.
