The Rays and Rangers will tie for the last playoff spot. If this were to happen Price would be up for the Rays and Perez for the Rangers. Would Wash roll with this?

What choice would Wash have?
You're not going to roll with Garza on short-rest over Perez. At this point you wouldn't roll with Garza on full-rest over Perez.

How do they determine home field? Head to head?
I'd take it right now, no questions asked. Toronto and Anaheim actually field major league teams. Minnesota does not, which makes it hard to see Cleveland losing. Minnesota may not be as good as Houston right now.
Yes - head to head. Texas owns TB. Pretty sure Cleve owns TX.
Yes. In a two-way tie, TEX would host TB. If the tie is between CLE and TEX, Cleveland would host.
In two-way tie situation game would be Monday -- so there's really no option of setting up your rotation... and even then the only guy we have that would be better on short-rest than Perez on full-rest is Darvish, who is pitching Sunday.
And... this is tiebreaker to play a one-game play-in two days later. So even if you could throw your "ace" on short-rest for the tiebreaker, you then wouldn't be able to throw him in the one-game play-in.
The interesting question will be -- if Texas ends up in a two-way tiebreaker and wins with Perez, who do you throw in the play-in game -- Garza on normal rest or Holland on short-rest?

I'd roll with Garza. He's pitched well as of late and has the big game experience
Who pitches is a moot point if the bats don't show up...
Rangers win the play-in game 5-0 with 5 solo HRs from Nelly Cruz
Rangers won't make it.
GTFO with that crap

How long do you want to ignore this user?
Say we win today.
Does Cruz play in the in the playoff?

He's eligible after today. Not sure how sharp he'll be, but I expect Wash to be the type to put him right back in the lineup.
Hope he's lived in the cage for the last week.
Called it
I won't say it, you Ranger fans have had it tough the past 3-4 years.
