The Texas Rangers now have a commanding 2-0 lead over the Detroit Tigers in the American League Championship series. The odds for this series and all of the MLB playoffs can be found at Bet Phoenix.

Colby Lewis looks to remain undefeated for his career in the postseason as he tries to help the Rangers earn a sixth consecutive playoff victory Tuesday night against the Tigers.

Winners of five straight since losing 9-0 in the division series opener versus Tampa Bay on Sept. 30, the Rangers are filled with confidence as they head to Detroit in a comfortable situation.

Though Texas dropped four of six at Detroit during the season, it should feel confident with Lewis (1-0, 1.50 ERA) taking the ball.

The right-hander allowed only a solo homer and struck out six in six innings of a 4-3 win at Tampa in Game 3 to improve to 4-0 with a 1.67 ERA in five postseason starts.

Lewis went 0-1 with a 15.95 ERA in two starts against the Tigers this season. He allowed five runs, 10 hits and walked three in four innings while not factoring in the decision of a 6-5 loss at Comerica Park on Aug. 2.

Detroit counters with Doug Fister (1-1, 6.52), who hopes his success at home during the season carries over into the playoffs.

Acquired from Seattle at the trade deadline, Fister went 8-1 with a 1.79 ERA in 11 appearances—10 starts—for the Tigers. In his first outing with his new team Aug. 3, Fister allowed three runs in seven innings of a 5-4 win over Texas at Comerica Park.

The right-hander went 4-0 with a 0.98 ERA in five home starts for the Tigers.

Fister gave up six runs and struck out six in 4 2-3 innings of a 9-3 loss at New York when Game 1 of the ALDS resumed Oct. 1. However, he yielded only one run in five innings of a 3-2 victory at Yankee Stadium in Game 5 on Thursday.

Though his team is down 0-2 and Cruz is 7 for 14 with a home run and two doubles against him, Fister does not feel any added pressure taking the mound in this must-win scenario.

This has become a must win for the Tigers if they want to make this a series. If they lose game three they may not be able to come back from this deficit.
