Top 2 in, Bottom 1 out.
There are 2 games left. For the Rangers to stay alive they need to win 1 more game of their last 2 than the other 2 teams so they can force a tie. If there was a 2-team tie for the last spot the 2 teams playing in the tie would play head to head. If all three teams were tied then Cleveland would host Tampa Bay to determine one of the wild cards on Monday; the loser of that game would then play at Texas on Tuesday to determine the second wild card.
