Rangers manager Ron Washington announced Monday that C.J. Wilson will start Game 1 of the World Series against the Cardinals on Wednesday night. Wilson will get the nod, despite an ugly 8.04 ERA over three starts this postseason. "He's my number one guy, nothing has changed," said Washington. The Rangers' skipper hasn't named a Game 2 starter, but Derek Holland has followed Wilson in the rotation over the first two rounds of the playoffs.
