Wednesday marks the first opportunity for teams to advance out of the MLB wild-card round.
The Texas Rangers, Minnesota Twins, Arizona Diamondbacks and Philadelphia Phillies gained the early edges in their respective best-of-three series on Tuesday.
Minnesota and Philadelphia can close out at home in different types of pitching matchups. The Phillies have a significant edge with Aaron Nola on the hill, while the Twins will face one of their former stars in an even matchup.
Texas will try to keep the Tampa Bay Rays' bats quiet for the second straight day. Tampa Bay has not scored in its last two postseason games and has one run in its last three playoff contests.
