    I kept expecting the Rangers to break it open last night and they never seemed to break through. I have a small Rangers future but with the idiotic all star game advantage of home field for the Cardinals, the Rangers need to win this one. I read a stat this morning, the last 10 teams to win game 1 of the world series went on to win the title.

    I really thought the Rangers were going to break out last night in the seventh and I am still confused with Ron Washington putting in Esteban Germán to pinch hit with runners on first and third and two out in the seventh. Every stat I look at in my spreadsheets tells me to take Texas tonight, but I just dont put alot of faith in these numbers when you are talking about the pressure of pitching in the world series. ...

    Playoff time! This early game is a strange one to call, irregardless of the texas stats in december and wilsons numbers lately, I know the popular opinion on the boards for texas but the Rays are putting up some incredible numbers in September as well. Tampa Bay is off one of the most remarkable runs to the wild card in recent memory. They were actually trailing Boston by 10 games at the start of September and in the final game of the regular season they were down 7-0 in the eighth inning vs. the Yankees, and all Boston had to do was close out the ninth. It was an incredible comeback for the Rays in the final game of the season and for the whole month of September.

    53-37 +5.68

    The big thing I am watching out for his Albert Pujols status today, sports options has him listed as doubtful because of his wrist, if anyone knows anything more it would be much appreciated, I am already on the Brewers but I may add another unit if he is out.

    I dont like betting against teams on a streak and the Nationals are starting to really hit the ball and are looking good. They have now won 4 in a row and are getting back to .500. The Braves on the other hand have lost 3 in a row and may missing Heyward today but The Braves havent lost more than 3 in a row this year and Beachy is coming off a fantastic game.
