After a day off and a day of rest for the bullpens, both managers will use their best arms when needed. The Texas offense struggled at home in the first two games, scoring a total of four runs, and now they head out on the road where they have gone UNDER five of the last six contests. Texas is 7-2-1 UNDER the total in Divisional Playoff road games. The Rangers are 2-for-19 with runners in scoring position in the series, including 2-for-18 in Game 2. Texas starter Colby Lewis (3.71 ERA) has a 2.75 road ERA this season and has been strong in the playoffs in the past, posting a 4-1 record with a 2.38 ERA in nine games (eight starts). The team is 7-3 UNDER when he starts with seven or more days of rest. Toronto plays fine defense in the field, #11 in baseball in fielding while on a 19-7-1 run UNDER the total. The Blue Jays start Aaron Sanchez (15-2, 3.00 ERA), who led the AL in ERA during the regular season. He has allowed a total of three runs with 21 strikeouts in 19 innings over his last three starts. Toronto is 26-10 UNDER the total when he starts, plus the Blue Jays are 36-14-1 UNDER when they face a team with a winning record. Play this one UNDER the total.
