Three-time Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer returns to the mound Wednesday night.
Out of 7 playoff games the Texas Rangers have only played one at home so far this postseason. Rangers fans are excited for the opportunity to cheer on their team at Globe Life Field.
Texas, off to a 7-0 postseason start, will be the fifth team Scherzer has pitched for in the playoffs — he is 7-7 with a 3.58 in 27 games with Detroit, Washington, the Los Angeles Dodgers and the New York Mets. The Rangers acquired the 39-year-old right-hander from New York in a deadline deal in hopes of starts just like this.
"He’s been working pretty good, so he can get us at least in that area, if not more," Bochy said. "The guy is hungry to get out there and pitch. He wants to be part of this." Cristian Javier starts this time for Houston, with the 26-year-old right-hander making his fourth start in 16 postseason appearances. He is 5-1 with a 1.91 ERA in playoff games, including five scoreless innings to win Game 3 of the AL Division Series at Minnesota last week.In his only start against Texas this season, Javier allowed eight runs and nine hits over 4 1/3 innings in the finale of the Astros’ only other series in Arlington, when they won 12-11 in July.
This is the fifth time since the All-Star break the Rangers have won at least six games in a row, but they also also had four losing streaks of at least three games in that span, including an eight-game skid. They had a 20-game stretch in September when they lost four games in a row, won six, lost four and then won six more.
