The Texas Rangers took a three games to two lead in the Breeders Cup betting World Series last night with a four to two victory over the St. Louis Cardinals. Barring a collapse of giant proportions, the Rangers should defeat the Cardinals in six games and win their first ever bookie software World Series title. However, if we have learned anything about the Cardinals this season, it is that they are never out until their final out. Here is an update on the World Series.

Texas has come to play this year, as they attempt to fully ratify the demons of a year ago. Last season, the big criticism surrounding the Rangers, was that their offense wasn’t deep enough, as once you got past Ian Kinsler, Nelson Cruz, and Josh Hamilton, the rest of the Rangers offense was silent during the 2010 MLB playoffs. With that in mind, the Rangers went out and acquired Mike Napoli through trade and Adrian Beltre as a free agent signings. As a result, the Rangers find themselves within a victory of the franchise’s first ever World Series.

On paper, despite the odds being in their favor, not very many people were willing to take Texas in a series over St. Louis. The way Cardinals manager Tony La Russa has been depicted by the media, one would believe that the 1920s New York Yankees could not defeat the 2011 St. Louis Cardinals. That being said, this series has come down to a battle of the bullpens, with Texas winning the battle so far.

St. Louis bullpen has carried the club all throughout the playoffs, but ultimately, they appear to be running out of gas. The main difference between Texas and St. Louis pitching staffs is that Texas starters have averaged five innings, while the Cardinals starters have managed to go only three innings, except for Chris Carpenter.
