GAME 1
David Price takes the hill with yet another opportunity to prove himself in the play-offs. It has been over a month since Price got a knoch in the victory column and the Rays are 3-7 in play-off games. The 25-year-old is 0-3 with a 5.67 ERA in six career regular season starts against Texas, including a 3-0 loss to Lewis and the Rangers at Tropicana Field on June 1. Tampa Bay has his last 3 starts. Price has struggled here in this spot posting an ERA at almost 6.00 in his last 3 trips to the hill, and posts a 4-9 record at Tropicana.
Colby Lewis will counter Price for the Rangers. He too has struggles mantaining a decent ERA at 5.50 but Texas has won 2 of his last 3 starts as he hold a record of 2-0. Lewis is 9-5 on the road this year and has a well polished ERA of 3.43. I cant see Texas losing this game as they face a struggling Price.
