I never thought the Rangers were that good. Much like the Orioles, their run differential wasn't very good and my belief is you can't outrun barely outscoring your opponent. Especially when you hit the playoffs.
Probably would have been exposed a lot earlier if it wasn't for their insane 1-run game record this year. Made it seem like they had a lot stronger rotation and bullpen than in reality.

That type of baseball magic can work in the playoffs but only if the rotation is lights out great and not just because of some really great luck going their way.
