Texas at Seattle

Texas has made one thing clear, they haven't gone home yet! Fresh off a sweep of the Angels, and winners of five of their last six, the Rangers go with Edinson Volquez. Volquez has been a good start, bad start type of pitcher, so coming off a bad one we expect he will improve upon a five-run outing his last time out. Seattle went into fade mode in late August, and has been 12-21 down the stretch playing themselves into a pretender. Jeff Weaver has been consistent this season - consistently bad with a 6.30 ERA on the year and saving his worst for last. Weaver has given up five runs or more in four of his last five starts, and is averaging getting knocked out before completing five innings. One team still playing, the other has packed it in so we'll ride the Rangers.
