KEY GAME INFORMATION
TAMPA BAY: 017: 80-82, third place.
MANAGER: Kevin Cash (fourth season).
ADDITIONS: OF Denard Span, 1B C.J. Cron, RHP Nathan Eovaldi, OF Jake Bauers.
SUBTRACTIONS: 3B Evan Longoria, RHP Alex Cobb, RHP Jake Odorizzi, OF-DH Corey Dickerson, OF Steven Souza Jr., 1B Logan Morrison, 1B-DH Lucas Duda, RHP Brad Boxberger, RHP Steve Cishek, RHP Tommy Hunter, OF Peter Bourjos, INF Trever Plouffe, RHP Chase Whitley.
OUTLOOK: The Rays sport a new look after a winter of trimming payroll. In addition to the departures of Cobb and Odorizzi, the heart of a batting order that hit a club-record 228 homers ' Longoria, Dickerson, Souza and Morrison ' is gone, too. Archer, a two-time All-Star, is set to make his franchise-record fourth opening day start, and Colome is back at closer, too. The question that remains unanswered is, for how long? Cash and general manager Erik Neander aren't making any bold predictions but they insist that despite all the changes, the Rays have a chance to be a lot more competitive than it appears on paper.
TEXAS: 2017: 78-84, tied for third place.
MANAGER: Jeff Banister (fourth season).
ADDITIONS: LHP Mike Minor, LHP Matt Moore, RHP Doug Fister, RHP Jesse Chavez, RHP Bartolo Colon, 1B Tommy Joseph.
SUBTRACTIONS: 1B-DH Mike Napoli, CF Carlos Gomez, RHP Andrew Cashner, RHP Jason Grilli, RHP A.J. Griffin, LHP Dario Alvarez.
OUTLOOK: AL West champs in each of Banister's first two seasons, the Rangers are coming off their second losing season in nine years. With most of their everyday lineup back, they should be able to hit and score runs again. But in a division with the defending World Series champs and other improved teams, Texas must depend on a revamped rotation ' maybe using six starters in some variation ' and the hope that its bullpen will be drastically improved. The Rangers scored 799 runs last year and ranked third in the majors with 237 homers. Seven returning players had at least 17. That group is led by Gallo, now the primary first baseman after playing three positions in his first full big league season. Hamels, the clear No. 1 starter now that Yu Darvish is gone, missed seven weeks in 2017 with an oblique strain and threw fewer than 200 innings for the first time since 2009. Perez could unexpectedly be ready for opening day after breaking his non-pitching elbow in a mishap on his ranch in Venezuela before Christmas. Fister didn't pitch his first major league game last season until June, and Minor hasn't started since 2014 with the Braves.
PREVIEW
Rays' Snell looks for more than team record against Rangers
 

There are plenty of baseball insiders who feel that Blake Snell, Tampa Bay's left-handed ace, has been the best pitcher in the major leagues this season. Racking up 19 wins in 24 decisions will help Snell make that claim as well.

Snell (19-5, 2.06 ERA) has a chance to tie club history on Tuesday when the Rays square off against the Texas Rangers at Globe Life Park in Arlington, Texas, in the middle game of a key three-game series.

Texas will counter with right-hander Yovani Gallardo (8-5, 6.67).

Tampa Bay is still mathematically alive for a wild-card spot thanks to wins in 12 of its past 15 contests, including a 3-0 victory over the Rangers on Monday.

Snell's 19 wins lead the majors and with a win on Tuesday, Snell would tie David Price for the most single-season wins in Tampa Bay history. Price won 20 games in 2012, when he garnered the American League Cy Young Award.

Snell is more focused on keeping the Rays in the wild-card chase than any individual achievement as the season is deep in its stretch run.

"The team's going to have to win, and we're going to have to play good baseball to be able to do that against a good Texas team," Snell told MLB.com about his chance to reach the 20-win mark.

"Their lineup is great. They have a very good offensive lineup. It's going to be tough for us. I'm focused on what we can do, not individual goals. I need a team to do it, so I'm not going to focus on it."

Snell has just one career start against the Rangers; he gave up one run in 6 1/3 innings on April 16 in an 8-4 Tampa Bay win.

Tampa Bay manager Kevin Cash said Snell's drive to the 20-win mark is important for both the player and the team.

"I don't want to overplay it too much or put any added pressure on it," Cash said. "But you look at what Blake's done, you look at what some other really, really good pitchers and where they're at this year, you have to be impressed.

"Any starting pitcher that has a track record will tell you how important (it is) and how much they care to get 20 wins."

Snell has won seven consecutive decisions, which is the longest streak by a Ray since Alex Cobb racked up seven straight during the 2014 season.

He will be hard-pressed to deliver the kind of pitching performance turned in Monday by Tyler Glasnow and three relievers when they combined for a two-hitter (both given up by the starter) to beat Texas.

Gallardo will make his 19th appearance and 16th start of the season on Tuesday in the middle contest of the three-game set. He is 1-4 in last six starts after a 7-1 span across eight starts from June 23-Aug. 8.

Gallardo will pitch on five days' rest after taking the loss in the Rangers' 8-1 defeat on Wednesday at Los Angeles in which he lasted just three innings (his shortest start of 2018) and matched his season-high with six runs allowed. He is 3-3 with a 4.64 in eight career games, all starts, against Tampa Bay.

Meanwhile, Texas manager Jeff Banister said there are no plans right now for Bartolo Colon to make one more appearance in front of the home crowd during the final homestand this season at Globe Life Park.

"I'd like to be able to salute all our players," Banister said. "That's the biggest thing. Obviously, we have had some celebrations for Bartolo. If the opportunity presents itself, I'd love for our fans to be able to appreciate what they've experienced with Bartolo. Right now, nothing is scripted out."

The Rangers have five more home games remaining.
