Baseball all day! Is this heaven? No, it can't be, the Tigers aren't playing. But it's close!

Texas Rangers at Toronto Blue Jays, Game 2

Start time: 12:30 p.m.

Media: MLB Network

Pitching: LHP Cole Hamels (13-8, 3.65 ERA) vs. RHP Marcus Stroman (4-0, 1.67 ERA)

The Rangers took Game 1 yesterday, handing David Price a postseason loss. Hamels looks to keep the dangerous Blue Jays' lineup in check again today and take a stranglehold on the series.

Pitching: LHP Scott Kazmir (7-11, 3.10 ERA) vs. RHP Johnny Cueto (11-13, 3.44 ERA)

Battle of the mid-season reinforcements. The Astros acquired Kazmir from the A's and the Royals traded for Cueto from the Reds within days of each other, back in July. The Royals are hoping to even the series after the Astros jumped on Yordano Ventura and coasted to a win in Game 1.
