Wednesday’s contest between the Rangers and Blue Jays will present everyone’s favorite scenario, do-or-die baseball.
Young Game 5 Starters Have Advantage Over Veterans
Tied 2-2, the pair of division winners enter the Rogers Centre with hopes of advancing to the ALCS. For the Blue Jays, it would be their first trip since 1993’s World Series run. The Rangers are only three years removed, winning the AL pennant in 2011.
The winner will only have one hour to celebrate. The other half of the ALCS will be decided at 8 p.m. ET when the Astros and Royals battle in a Game 5 of their own.
