With the largest division lead in the majors, the Texas Rangers are in good position to secure their first playoff berth in more than a decade. The Boston Red Sox’s chances of making the postseason for the fourth straight time have taken another hit. The Rangers continue their homestand Friday night when they face the Red Sox in Arlington for the first time this season. The Rangers, trying to reach the postseason for the first time since 1999, begin this three-game series with a 7 1/2-game advantage over Los Angeles in the AL West. That’s allowed Texas to keep things in perspective after losses such as Wednesday’s 7-6 defeat to New York, its third in four games. The Rangers led 6-1 in the sixth inning with ace Cliff Lee on the mound.

Giving the ball to Tommy Hunter could help the Rangers get back on track. The right-hander bounced back from his first loss by pitching 6 1-3 innings of a 6-0 victory at Seattle last Thursday. The Mariners went 0 for 10 with runners in scoring position against Hunter. Like Texas, Boston is looking to rebound after being on the wrong end of a comeback victory. Three outs away from their fourth straight win, the Red Sox surrendered four ninth-inning runs as Jonathan Papelbon suffered his AL-worst sixth blown save in a 6-5 loss to Toronto on Thursday. Boston, trailing Tampa Bay by four games for the wild card, fell to 4-3 on its 10-game trip. Josh Beckett will look to bounce back while helping the Red Sox do the same.
