After two games in Arlington, the American League Division Series between the Rangers and Blue Jays shits to Toronto for Game 3.

The AL West-champion Rangers (95-67) had the best record in the American League during the regular season, but all of a sudden they find themselves in a precarious situation. The series is shifting to Toronto, where the Blue Jays (89-73)—who defeated the Orioles in the AL Wild Card Game on a dramatic walk-off home run—play in front of one of the most raucous crowds in the sport. The pitching matchup heavily favors the Blue Jays, at least on paper. RHP Aaron Sanchez (15-2, 3.00 ERA, 1.17 WHIP), who led the AL in ERA, will take the ball for manager John Gibbons. He’ll be opposed by RHP Colby Lewis (6-5, 3.71 ERA, 1.13 WHIP). The Blue Jays took three of four from the Rangers at Rogers Centre back in early May. Jeff Banister’s club went 42-39 on the road during the regular season. The Jays posted a 46-35 home mark.

The Rangers haven’t seen much of Sanchez, who only lost twice in 2017, but they’ve had some success against him in limited action. DH Carlos Beltran (.295, 29 HR, 93 RBI), acquired from the Yankees at the trade deadline, is 4-for-8 against the 24-year-old with a homer and four RBIs. 3B Adrian Beltre (.300, 32 HR, 104 RBI), who had another excellent year at age 37, has two hits against him in six at-bats—one of those hits was a homer. SS Elvis Andrus (.302, 8 HR, 69 RBI, 24 SB) is 2-for-5 against him, 1B Mitch Moreland (.233, 22 HR, 60 RBI) is 2-for-6 and 2B Rougned Odor (.271, 33 HR, 88 RBI) is 3-for-8. Lewis faced the Jays twice this season. On May 4, in Toronto, he took a no-decision after allowing three earned runs in seven innings. He took another no-decision 10 days later at home, holding the Blue Jays to two earned runs on four hits in seven innings. In nine career postseason appearances (eight starts), Lewis is 4-1 with a 2.38 ERA in 53 innings pitched.

The Blue Jays have seen their fair share of Lewis, and the right-hander could be in for a long night. RF Jose Bautista (.234, 22 HR, 69 RBI) is 5-for-17 against him with two homers and 10 walks and DH Michael Saunders (.253, 24 HR, 57 RBI) is 7-for-26 with a homer, a triple and two doubles. 1B Justin Smoak (.217, 14 HR, 34 RBI) has hit two homers off him, and CF Kevin Pillar (.266, 7 HR, 53 RBI has taken him deep as well. Lewis has done a surprisingly good job of keeping 3B Josh Donaldson (.284, 37 HR, 99 RBI) and 1B Edwin Encarnacion (.263, 42 HR, 127 RBI) in check. They’re 2-for-15 and 1-for-15 with a homer against him, respectively. Sanchez, like Lewis, faced the Rangers twice this season and took two no-decisions. He allowed three earned runs in seven innings in his first start, and gave up six earned runs in 6 2/3 in the second. In nine postseason appearances last season—no starts—Sanchez didn’t give up an earned run in 7 1/3 innings.
