Game Six postponed
October 27, 2011 18:07:46 UK
The Texas Rangers will have to wait one more day after Major League Baseball postponed Game Six of the World Series because of rain.
Colby Lewis will get the nod for the Rangers who lead the best of seven series three games to two and are looking for their first ever World Series triumph.
The postponement allows Texas to contemplate pitching Derek Holland on limited rest should he be needed in a Game Seven although Matt Harrison is still expected to be the starter.
The rain delay may be even more beneficial to the Cardinals as Chris Carpenter becomes a possibility pitching on short rest.
St. Louis manager Tony La Russa is likely to resist the temptation as Carpenter's only poor outing of the past month was when pitching on short rest, but it would not be surprising to see Carpenter be available for an inning or so from the bullpen.
La Russa has yet to announce his Game Seven starter which should be Kyle Lohse who lasted three innings in his Game Three start a game more remembered for the three home runs of Albert Pujols.
The Rangers are 2.00 to win Game Six and clinch the World Series, with the Cardinals 1.76 to level the series at 3-3 and set up a decider.
