With Adrian Beltre down and out, Robinson Chirinos, Rougned Odor, and the bullpen carried the Rangers to victory in Game 1
Texas leads the ALDS 1-0
By my count, 400 of the 403 "experts" around the baseball publications on the Internet predicted the Blue Jays would coast to the ALCS over the Rangers.
The Blue Jays are obvious the superior team, I don't think anyone would disagree with that. But the Rangers and Blue Jays were scheduled to play only five games and now the Rangers have to win just two of the next four while the Blue Jays have to essentially win a four game series.
