I like Tampa in 5. They are just rolling plus revenge.

Rangers in 4 or 5.

Game 1 is big with CJ vs Shields (2-0 vs Texas this year).

Rangers getting home field allows them to have CJ pitch in Arlington (where he is money in that hitters ballpark) and then start Lewis on the road where he is much better (2 ER better on the road).

TB near the bottom vs lefties this year and could face 3 of them this series, including games 1 and 2.

As much as I would like to see Tampa do it, I think Texas is the better all around team. They have the far superior lineup in my opinion & hungry to get back to the series. It won't be easy, but I think they take the series in 4.

I definitely want Tampa to win, I feel like they deserve it after what they did this month. But also think they're pitching staff is better. But the Texas lineup is brutal. Tampa in 5

You dont hear much about this Texas lineup, and I honestly think it is the best in MLB. They have an incredible starting lineup and tons of depth.

5 of their starting 9 players have at least 25 HRs and everyone but Andruss has at least 10 HRs. All have solid BAs as well.

Rangers batting Average since All-Star Break one of greatest of all time... I'd say that's pretty hot.

I like Texas in this matchup. They have been playing good ball for a while and are pretty solid all around. It will come down to starting pitching for them though.

Rays are good, but they weren't "that" impressive down the stretch. Just were handed the WC.
