of the 2015 ALDS that Toronto won in five games, including the wild clincher
when Bautista had the go-ahead homer and emphatic bat flip as part of a
disastrous seventh inning for the Rangers. They made errors on three consecutive
plays, including two by Andrus. ... Toronto has a 208-203 lead all-time in the
regular-season series. ... The ALDS opener will be their first meeting since May
15 in Texas, when Odor punched Bautista after the Blue Jays slugger made a hard
takeout slide at second base in the eighth inning, after he had reached base
when hit by a pitch. MLB disciplined 14 players and staff over the melee. The
only players suspended were Odor (seven games), Bautista (one game) and Andrus
(one game). ... Texas (60-31) and Toronto (58-31) were good during the regular
season against the best teams, with the top two records in the majors against
clubs that finished .500 or better. ... Texas three wins over Toronto this
season were all one-run games. Each was won by a reliever, including Bushs first
career victory May 15. ... In the ALDS last season, Texas took a 2-0 series lead
by winning the first two games in Toronto, including a 14-inning Game 2. The
Blue Jays posted a pair of four-run victories in Texas to force the deciding
game at raucous Rogers Centre. ... The Rangers won a franchise-record 53 home
games this season, which could come in handy because they have home-field
advantage through the postseason. The AL won the All-Star Game for home field in
the World Series.---Big Picture:Rangers: The AL West champions had a six-game
lead in the division when general manager Jon Daniels pulled off two significant
deals in the hours before the non-waiver trade deadline Aug. 1. Lucroy and
Jeffress were acquired from Milwaukee, and the Rangers got Beltran (52
postseason games for four teams) from the Yankees. And when the Astros released
a struggling Gomez on Aug. 18, the Rangers signed the two-time All-Star two days
later and made him their starting left fielder after three games in the minors.
Gomez became their primary leadoff hitter the last three weeks of the regular
season. ... After not clinching the 2015 division title until the final day of
the regular season, Texas had a champagne celebration after winning Game No. 154
this year in Oakland. ... Piloted by manager Jeff Banister, the Rangers (95-67)
led the American League in wins and winning percentage (.586) for the first time
in franchise history. ... Beltre had his third career .300/30/100 season. He
joined Miguel Cabrera (six) and David Ortiz (five) as the only active players
with more than one. ... Choo returned for the final weekend of the regular
season after missing 39 games with a broken left forearm. ... This is the eighth
time the Rangers have made the playoffs. In the previous seven, the only times
they won postseason series were in 2010 and 2011 on the way to their lone World
Series appearances.Blue Jays: After snapping a 22-year postseason drought in
2015, Toronto reached the playoffs for the second straight season under manager
John Gibbons. The last time the Blue Jays did that was a three-year run from
1991-93 that ended with back-to-back World Series titles. ... This time, the
Blue Jays (89-73) captured the top AL wild card by winning their regular-season
finale in Boston. Then they beat division-rival Baltimore at home in the
wild-card game on Encarnacions three-run homer in the 11th inning. ... The Blue
Jays went 13-16 in September and October, their first losing month since April
(11-14). ... Toronto averaged an AL-worst 3.69 runs per game in September and
October, a full run off their season average of 4.70. ... Blue Jays starters
were strong down the stretch, allowing no more than one earned run in 12 of the
final 17 games. The bullpen struggled, however, blowing leads five times in a
seven-game stretch that ended Oct. 1. ... The Blue Jays went 46-35 at home, the
fourth-best mark in the division. ... Toronto has several pending free agents,
including Bautista, Encarnacion, Saunders, Cecil and RHP R.A. Dickey.---Watch
For:- Banged-up Bullpen. Osuna exited Torontos wild-card victory over the
Orioles with a sore shoulder. Tests did not reveal any damage, and Osuna said
the soreness might be due to fatigue after he pitched 16 regular-season innings
in September and October. If he is not available against Texas, Grilli would
likely handle the ninth inning. The Blue Jays already are without setup man
Joaquin Benoit, who tore his left calf running in from the bullpen during a
bench-clearing scrap with the Yankees on Sept. 26.- Pair of Aces. For the first
time, the Rangers have both Hamels and Darvish in their playoff rotation.
Darvish, the three-time All-Star from Japan whose only MLB postseason appearance
was a loss in the 2012 AL wild-card game against Baltimore, missed all of 2015
recovering from Tommy John surgery. Hamels was acquired in a July 2015 trade and
has won division-clinching games in both of his seasons with Texas. Hamels has a
3.03 ERA in 15 career postseason games, including two last October for the
Rangers. The All-Star lefty was the MVP of the 2008 World Series and NLCS for
the Phillies.- Unruly Fans. The noisy crowds in Canada are gaining a reputation
for bad behavior. Toronto Police were looking for the fan who threw a beer can
at Orioles outfielder Hyun Soo Kim in the wild-card game. During Game 5 of last
years ALDS, Blue Jays fans littered the field with debris after a disputed call
that let Odor score from third after Martins throw back to the mound deflected
off Choos bat.- Close Calls. Texas was 36-11 in one-run games, setting an MLB
record with a .766 winning percentage. The Rangers also led the majors with 49
comeback wins. They won eight times when trailing after eight innings, plus had
an MLB-best 21 wins in their last at-bat.- RISP-Y Business. Toronto hit .249
with runners in scoring position, the worst mark among AL playoff teams. Over
the final eight regular-season games, the Blue Jays were 13 for 66 (.197) with
one double in those situations.

Drew Doughty, Shea Weber and forward Ryan Getzlaf also scored for the Canadians,
who started their gold-medal defence 2-0. Goalie Roberto Luongo, getting the
call in place of Game 1 starter Carey Price, was solid when needed in making 23
saves for the shutout.
