Wild card positioning is on the line as the Texas Rangers host the Baltimore Orioles for a three-game series beginning Friday.
Texas and Baltimore are among a half dozen teams right on the line for the final American League postseason spot in a race that figures to go right to the end of the regular season, making head-to-head matchups like this critical to the eventual outcome.
The Rangers finally pulled out of a six-game skid by winning the final two games of their series against the Giants midweek and will look to maintain the momentum as they send veteran Nathan Eovaldi to the mound Friday.
The Orioles have been up and down since sweeping the Astros after the All-Star break, with no more than a two-game winning or losing streak since then. They're coming off a series win against the Angels and will give the ball to Shane Baz in the series opener.
Who will open the weekend series with a win? Here's everything you need to know to watch.
