It’s been quite a sports year in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, with the Mavericks winning their first NBA title, the Dallas area hosting its first Super Bowl and TCU going unbeaten and winning the Rose Bowl. The Texas Rangers can make it a quartet on Wednesday night as the take a 3-2 series lead into Game 6 of the World Series as it returns to St. Louis.

However, behind Game 2 pitching star Jaime Garcia, the Cardinals are -120 favorites on Bodog’s MLB baseball odds, with live in-play betting available.

Texas took the series lead for the first time Monday thanks to Mike Napoli’s eighth-inning, two-run double that gave the Rangers a 4-2 victory. Napoli is a cinch to win World Series MVP honors should the Rangers win tonight or in a possible Game 7 Thursday. Game 5 was his fourth multi-RBI game of this Fall Classic. Only the Yankees’ Mickey Mantle in the 1960 World Series has done that before. Napoli is hitting .308 with two homers and nine RBIs vs. St. Louis. The rest of the Rangers have four homers and 10 RBIs.

The Rangers have to feel good about tonight behind righty Colby Lewis in a rematch with Garcia of Game 2. In that game, Lewis allowed one run and four hits in 6 2/3 innings as the Rangers rallied to win 2-1. Lewis is 4-1 with a 2.22 ERA and a 1.07 WHIP (walks and hits per inning) in seven postseason starts, which are way better numbers than his regular-season totals. And Lewis was far better on the road this season than at home.

Garcia, meanwhile, shut out the Rangers for three hits in seven innings of Game 2 before closer Jason Motte blew a 1-0 lead in the ninth. The lefty is much better at Busch Stadium than on the road – he is 3-1 with a 1.87 ERA in his past six home starts.

There’s a chance this game could be affected by the weather as rain is in the forecast.
