The Cardinals have two games at home before heading back to Texas for Games 3 and 4.

Texas, on the other hand, have been considered favorites by many throughout the entire season. The two main obstacles that could have thwarted the Rangers’ play-off run were the Red Sox and the Yankees. With the Red Sox (shockingly) not making the play offs and the Yankees being eliminated at the hands of the Detroit

Okay TV Lift Owners, the numbers are in following last week’s onslaught of season premieres.
