Everything is on the line in game 163.

Don't miss your chance to cheer on the Texas Rangers as they take on the Tampa Bay Rays in a tiebreaker game for the final wild card spot. Apparently 162 games weren't enough, as both teams ended the regular season with identical 91-71 records.

The Rangers have sidestepped the pressure, rattling off seven straight wins to force a wild card tiebreaker to be played in Arlington. One of the team's most important players will be back for Monday night's game: Nelson Cruz. Players, coaches and fans should be happy to have Nellie's bat back in the lineup.

First pitch is 7:07 p.m. Martin Perez takes the mound for the Rangers.

The winner will fly to Cleveland to face the Indians on Wednesday in a one-game wild-card playoff.
