Kevin Wheeler from KMOX radio, who comes on our radio show every Sunday night, is a firm believer the home field advantage is overrated in baseball. I tend to agree with him.
Case in point the Rangers-Rays series.
After the first two games it appeared the Rays were toast after losing both games at Tropicana Field. So, what do they do? They go on the road and win a pair of games at Texas.
The Rangers had the Rays on the ropes in Game 3 but couldn't close it out. The Rays won Game 4 pretty handily, 5-2, so we have a win or go home showdown Tuesday night in Tampa. Quite a pitching matchup too as Cliff Lee goes for the Rangers while Tampa Bay counters with David Price.
If I had to wager on this game I would go with Lee and the Rangers. Plus, the Rays have the home field dis-advantage. At least for this series.
