The Texas Rangers‘ postseason push continues as they host the Los Angeles Angels on Friday to open a three-game series. 

Texas is among a half-dozen teams within two games of the last AL wild card berth, and every result matters in a race that figures to go down to the final days of the regular season. 

The Rangers don’t have much margin for error and will look to avoid a repeat of these teams’ series earlier this month in Anaheim, which saw the Angels take three of four games. 

Texas will send MacKenzie Gore to the mound Friday against Reid Detmers in a matchup of 27-year-old lefties. Who will open the weekend series with a win? Here’s everything you need to know to watch.
