Toronto’s biggest problem with this series is keeping a big lead over Texas.

Against Baltimore, the Blue Jays won’t have as much trouble getting around the diamond as they will against the Rangers.

Texas proved they belonged in the playoffs after a dominant regular season en route to an AL West title and the first overall seed in the playoffs.

Last season’s playoff clash between these two teams was epic, as it was the beginning of the end for the Rangers who jumped out to a 2-0 series lead and lost three straight.

There’s no way that Texas will let this one slip away, as revenge will be on their mind throughout the series, even during the wild card game as they await their opponent.

If they get their shot at the Blue Jays, they won’t miss.

Prediction:
GM 1 – Toronto 6, Texas 7
GM 2 – Toronto 3, Texas 2
GM 3 – Texas 6, Toronto 5
GM 4 – Texas 2, Toronto 1

Series: Texas, 3-1
