Texas at Tampa Bay

Both the Texas Rangers and the Tampa Bay Rays have faltered down the stretch, and can here the footsteps of the Cleveland Indians behind them. The loser tonight could actually fall out of the wildcard lead if the Indians win tonight again in Kansas City. This obviously becomes a game with huge playoffs implications. The pitching matchup looks to be a dead heat in this one, as both Archer and Holland have the stuff to shutdown their opponent. Holland has delivered a 35-16 mark for the Rangers when facing a winning team, while the Rays have struggled against a winning team of late where they own just a 2-8 mark in their last 10. I like the dog with an edge here, so take Texas.
