Texas two-fer at the start of this World Series, but after the gut punch delivered by Corey Seager and Adolis García in Game 1 on Friday night, they were more than satisfied to get off the mat and earn the split on Saturday night.
Now, in Game 3 on Monday night at Chase Field, it’s the Rangers’ turn to try to spoil somebody’s home cooking, as they have been wont to do.
Historically, teams who take a 2-1 advantage in best-of-seven series have won more than 70% of those series. In other words, it's fair to describe this contest as "pivotal."

Marcus Semien and Corey Seager, who hit another home run to make it 3-0.
Max Scherzer, who started on the mound, exited due to "back tightness" before he was due to go back out for the bottom of the fourth.
Arizona looked dominant in that one just a couple of days ago, limiting Texas to just one run on four hits. It was a tightly contested matchup until the seventh inning, as the Dbacks tacked on seven runs in the final three frames. They finished the game with 16 hits en route to scoring nine runs.
With how hard it has been thus far to decide a winner in the games, we’ll stay away from that aspect and instead focus on the game total in our Rangers vs. Diamondbacks prediction. Besides, one thing has stayed constant through the first two World Series games: Runs.
Yet, staked to a 3-0 lead after retiring eight of the last nine batters he faced, Scherzer went out to warm up before the fourth inning and suddenly felt his back stiffen. He threw a couple of warm pitches, shook his head, and was out of the game. He walked towards the Rangers dugout looking dejected.
Gray was suddenly forced into action. The right-hander who had pitched in relief only once in 205 career regular-season games, now has pitched in relief for the second time in five days.
