 The Rays won two of three against the A's pushing their season record to 82-66. This will be the first time that Tampa finishes a season over .500 since 2013, when the team went 92-71 and lost in the ALDS.

 The Rangers completed their nine-game road trip with a 3-6 record, however they did win their most recent series against the Padres. Since the team's 18-run outburst on September 2, Texas' offense has cooled down, batting .218 as a team and averaging 3.3 runs per game.

 Over the last 10 seasons (since 2009), these teams have been evenly matched against each other, each winning 35 games. The Rays have had the upper hand in Arlington recently, winning four of the last five.

 Since being acquired by the Rays at the trade deadline, Tyler Glasnow is 0-4 with a 4.70 ERA, but opponents are batting just .196 off of him. On average, Glasnow has received just 1.41 runs of support over his eight starts with Tampa, the lowest of any pitcher with at least eight starts since August 1.

 Joey Gallo enters this series with 37 home runs and 37 singles. Only three qualified hitters have ever finished the season with more home runs than singles: Gallo in 2017, Mark McGwire in 1998 and 1999, and Barry Bonds in 2001.

 Through 25 games with Tampa Bay, Tommy Pham is slashing .309/.409/.521. Pham joins Hebert Perry, Bobby Smith, and Fred McGriff as the only Rays all-time to produce a .300+/.400+/.500+ slash line through 25 career games with the franchise (minimum 75 PA).

HP - Cederstrom, 1B - May, 2B - Blaser, 3B - Scheurwater

There are plenty of baseball insiders who feel that Blake Snell, Tampa Bay's left-handed ace, has been the best pitcher in the major leagues this season. Racking up 19 wins in 24 decisions will help Snell make that claim as well.
Snell (19-5, 2.06 ERA) has a chance to tie club history on Tuesday when the Rays square off against the Texas Rangers at Globe Life Park in Arlington, Texas, in the middle game of a key three-game series.

Rays' Snell looks for more than team record against Rangers

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP)  For Blake Snell, all the setbacks set up all these victories.
Snell became the major leagues' first 20-game winner in two years, helping pitch the Tampa Bay Rays past the Texas Rangers 4-0 Tuesday night.
