Breaking down the matchups and identifying an x-factor in Game 1 of Rays-Rangers.
And how unfair that one will be headed home in two or three days.via a tiebreaker on the last day of the regular season. Bye bye, wild-card byes. That has brought the Rays and Rangers to Tropicana Field for a best-of-three series — indisputably the strongest of the four Wild Card Series this week. These teams have met in the playoffs twice before, with the Rangers winning in both the 2010 and 2011 ALDS.

In his last postseason start, Glasnow tossed five shutout innings against the Guardians in the 2022 Wild Card Series. No walks. Two hits. Five strikeouts. That’s what Good Glasnow looks like.
