ARLINGTON, Texas -- Cole Hamels and Yu Darvish are scheduled to start the next two games for the Texas Rangers, after some extra rest for the aces lined up to start the teams first two playoff games.With more than a week left in the regular season and the Rangers on the verge of clinching their second consecutive AL West title, there is also the opportunity for Hamels and Darvish to get back on track before the postseason after some subpar outings this month.It would be nice for them to go out, throw the ball well and have some success, said manager Jeff Banister, while re-emphasizing that he still sees them as among the best pitchers in the game.There would be a lot of `feel good. Whats necessary is for all our guys to get on that roll, quality pitches, manage the game and go as deep as possible, he said. There is a lot of `feel good satisfaction in that. If everything is in place, you are mentally stronger and relax.All-Star lefty Hamels (14-5, 3.42 ERA) has a 10.50 ERA over his last four starts, though the Rangers have won three of those games.Darvish (5-5, 3.81), who has made only 15 starts this season after missing all of 2015 following Tommy John surgery, allowed a career high-matching seven runs last Saturday against Oakland. He has a 7.47 ERA in his three September games, and is 1-2 with a 6.04 ERA his last five starts.Their names are recognizable because of the work that theyve done, said reliever Jake Diekman, part of the trade that brought Hamels from Philadelphia in a July 2015 trade. Youre going to have peaks and valleys, but those guys are that good because theyre good at not having it go farther than one or two starts. Both of them could throw nine-inning shutouts next start.The Rangers (90-63) had Thursday off, but their magic number for the division title was reduced to one game when second-place Houston lost at home to the Los Angeles Angels. Texas can wrap up the AL West on Friday with a win at Oakland, or losses by both the Astros (81-72) and Seattle (80-72). The Mariners are a half-game behind Houston, but have played one less game than both the Rangers and Astros.Darvish and Hamels both also had extended rest before their last starts, and each likely will get one more start at home before the playoffs.Hamels will take the mound Friday night for the series opener against the As, seven days after the 2008 World Series MVPs last start.On the final day of the regular season last year, Hamels threw a three-hit complete game in a 9-2 win against the Los Angeles Angels to finally wrap up the division.Darvish is set to pitch Saturday, a week after struggling against the As at home in an outing when, without elaborating, he said he tried to tweak some mechanics in the bullpen before the game.That stuff that I tried ... it didnt work out. It was hard to do on the game mound, so Im probably going to try to be more close to where I was before, Darvish said through his interpreter this week. Im always trying to improve, Im trying to find something better for me to work.Since coming to Texas from Japan before the 2012 season, Darvish has made only postseason start for the Rangers. That was in the AL wild-card game at the end of his first season, when he allowed three runs over 6 2/3 innings in a loss to Baltimore.Right now, I dont want to put too much pressure on myself thinking about playoffs, Darvish said. Coming off the Tommy John surgery, I just need to take care of myself and my focus is one outing at a time. Thats what Im going to do. Phillip Gaines Jersey .

Greater Western Sydney coach Leon Cameron knows it will be near-impossible for his AFL side to keep Marcus Bontempelli quiet for the entirety of Saturday nights preliminary final.Bontempelli, who earned All-Australian honours this year and continues to show experience beyond his years, looms as one of Western Bulldogs most potent threats at Spotless Stadium.The 20-year-old tallied 32 disposals and six clearances when the two sides met in round nine this year, with Stephen Coniglio matching up on him for most of the game.Well probably start (ruckman) Rory Lobb on him. Weve got to fight fire with fire in terms of height, Cameron joked on Friday.Hes just so unique. Hes a 193cm inside mid, theyre very hard to stop those sort of players.Hes Nat Fyfe-like and weve seen what Fyfe has been able to do.I dont think you completely stop a guy like Bontempelli, we just have to make sure we nullify him when we have to but also hurt him when its our turn and we have the footy.ddddddddddddameron indicated he was unlikely to employ a hard tag on Bontempelli.Theres no doubt (Ryan) Griffen, Coniglio and (Callan) Ward are going to have opportunities to try to stop him in the midfield, he said.But in saying that they do bat really deep. (Tom) Liberatore is at the peak of his powers.Cameron also heaped praise on Bulldogs Jack Macrae and Luke Dahlhaus, acknowledging the midfield showdown will be crucial in deciding which club advances to the grand final.Theyve got a really good midfield. We feel as those weve got a really good midfield as well, he said.The battle will be won in the midfield. If its going our way more than their way, were going to be more of a chance to win the game.
