YANDY DÍAZ SPOKE
"Everyone knows those guys can score a lot of runs and they can hit. We're going to have to score as many runs as we can. I think it's going to be a good offensive battle."
ON THE POSITIONS
Randy Arozarena's team, the Rays, placed second in the American League East Division, just behind the Baltimore Orioles. On the other hand, Corey Seager's Rangers went all out until the last day of the regular season in search of the American League West Division title, competing neck and neck with the Houston Astros.
PROBABLE PITCHER:
Tyler Alan Glasnow is the top probable pitcher to start the wild card matchup against the Rangers on the mound. Glasnow is known for his imposing stature, speed and right arm power. He has a straight line that can exceed 100 mph and combines that velocity with a repertoire of secondary pitches, including a curveball and changeup.
