DALLAS — After a roller coaster of a season filled with offensive outbursts, blockbuster trades and gut-wrenching slumps, it's now confirmed: The Texas Rangers are heading to the playoffs!
Stating on Tuesday, the Rangers will face off with the Tampa Bay Rays in a best-of-three Wild Card series for the right to play the Baltimore Orioles in the Divisional round of the playoffs.
All three potential games between the Rangers and Rays will be played at Tampa Bay's Tropicana Field on Tuesday, Wednesday and (possibly) Thursday. No matter how long the series will last is, all three games are expected to be broadcast on WFAA (ABC).
Here's the series' full schedule:
- Game 1: Tuesday, 2:08 p.m. CT (WFAA)
- Game 2: Wednesday, 2:08 p.m. CT (WFAA)
- Game 3 (if necessary): Thursday, 2:08 p.m. CT (WFAA)
(The one wrinkle to the schedule would happen if the National League's Philadelphia-Miami series only goes two games, and the Rangers-Rays series goes three games, then Game 3 of Rangers-Rays will move to 7:08 p.m. CT on ESPN.)
