WIN

Texas goes from a great hitter's park in Arlington to another great hitter's park in Tampa Bay. That's a plus for this talented offense, one with speed and power that is No. 3 in baseball in runs scored, first in batting average, No. 5 in on-base percentage and second in slugging. We saw that power in Game 2, an 8-6 win. By contrast, this Tampa Bay offense is below average, in the middle of the pack in runs scored (No. 15) and No. 25 in batting average. The Rays are 2-6 in David Price's last eight starts as a home favorite. It's tough to trust him, as the team is 3-3 his last six starts and should be 2-4 as he melted down in the regular season must-win finale, leaving down 7-0 before their remarkable rally. Price is 4-9 at home this season with a 3.71 ERA. The Rangers are 5-1 in their last six games against a left-handed starter and 36-17 in their last 53 overall. Texas has a deep bullpen and starter Colby Lewis is 9-5 with a 3.43 ERA on the road, and dominated the Rays (8IP, no runs, 4 hits) in one start against them this season. Play on the Rangers in Game 3.
