ARLINGTON, Texas -- Texas right-hander Colby Lewis isnt exacting rounding into playoff shape at just the right time.But the veteran has a chance to end the regular season on a high note Saturday as he draws the start opposite Tampa Bay right-hander Jake Odorizzi in the penultimate game of the regular season.Texas wrapped up home-field advantage throughout the postseason with its 3-1 victory Friday night. That means some of the regulars will rest Saturday, but Lewis has work to do.Lewis (6-4), who will be the No. 3 or 4 starter for the Rangers in the American League Division Series, is on a four-game losing streak. In his last start at Oakland Lewis didnt make it out of the second inning as the As battered him for seven runs in 1 1/3 innings. In three starts since coming back after missing 71 games because of a strained right lat, Lewis is 0-3 with a 9.75 ERA.He knows those kinds of numbers wont get the job done any time, especially for a team thats postseason bound. But despite the ugly numbers, Lewis feels like the Oakland outing wasnt as bad as it looked.I felt like my last start was some of the best stuff Ive had, Lewis said. I didnt really make a lot of mistakes. They just hit the ball in spots fielders werent. If I do that I should come out with better results than last time. Thats all Im trying to do.Saturdays start will be the last one Lewis makes until either Game 3 or Game 4 (if necessary) of the ALDS. That will give him more than a week off after his Saturday start. The most successful pitcher in postseason history for the organization isnt fazed by that.That doesnt affect me at all, said Lewis, who is 4-1 with a 2.38 ERA in nine postseason appearances. I might throw a couple touch-up sides to make sure my arm stays nice and fresh and ready to go. For me, its like the old Japanese schedule (2008-09). I used to throw sides in between and felt great every seventh day.Odorizzi (9-6) might not have the postseason to look forward to, but does like the idea of facing the Rangers. In his four career starts against Texas, Odorizzi is 3-0 with a 1.40 ERA. He allowed one run in six innings in beating the Rangers earlier this year in Florida and won in Texas in 2014.After a slow start to the season, Odorizzi has been outstanding over his last 13 appearances. Hes 6-1 in that span with a 2.81 ERA. But for Odorizzi, that doesnt completely erase his start.I would consider it okay, Odorizzi said. Not terrible. Not good. I think I can perform better than I did. But to be honest with you, I havent thought much about it since the second half started.Odorizzis manager Kevin Cash sees his starters season in a more positive light.Hes being hard on himself, Cash said. I think hes had a really good season. Theres something to be said for making all those starts (32) if youre doing that, it means youre doing enough to help the club win games.

Astute use of the AFLs rookie list continues to set Sydney apart from rivals.The Swans have made a mockery of the notion a club must bottom out, with this September representing their seventh consecutive finals series.With the exception of a 12th-place finish in 2009 they have contested at least one final for 14 straight years.It is a staggering record that is a result of their club culture, clever trading and a smooth coaching transition from Paul Roos to John Longmire.It is also a credit to their knack of recruiting talent that other clubs spurned.Small forward Tom Papley, ruckman Sam Naismith and key forward Xavier Richards are the latest examples of Swans to rise off the rookie list and into the best 22.They are not outliers, rather a handful of recruiting guru Kinnear Beatsons rookie-list success stories.Gun defenders Dane Rampe, Nick Smith and Heath Grundy all started as rookies at the SCG, as did Jake Lloyd. Former skipper Brett Kirk and current co-captain Kieren Jack were also signed as rookies.The Swans are just so thorough, AFL national talent manager Kevin Sheehan told AAP.Some clubs say theres nothing left at the end, its a shallow draft, whereas others find a gem that nobody wanted.History proves there are players every year who slip through.Papley for instance has played 18 games this year after being elevated to the Swans senior list for a round-one clash with Collingwood.The 20-year-old was overlooked in last years national draft before the Swans pounced with pick No.14 in the rookie draft.Everyone had a chance to take hhim and now here he is - first season in and hes had a terrific year and just played a big role in the Swans winning last weekends semi-final, Sheehan said.ddddddddddddPeople were looking at the fact he was small and not that quick .. he did state-level testing, wasnt in the main combine.The Swans approach is to leave no stone unturned and look in detail at the back end of the draft. The other part of it is their development system is obviously quite good.Richards, who like Papley and Naismith is in the midst of his maiden finals series, suggested Jack and the clubs other leaders deserve a lot of credit for helping raw rookies reach the highest level.Weve got some bloody good leaders and they drive some pretty high standards at training and in terms of professionalism, Richards said.Weve got some absolute guns, a lot of guys who are the best in the league in their respective area.So when rookies are hanging around and training with those guys, a lot of it rubs off.The rookie list is expected to be abolished as part of the AFLs next Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA).It will bring greater recognition and pay to those players picked on potential, with more spots up for grabs on clubs main list.But dont expect it to change the approach of Sydney.Itd just mean more choices at the national draft so you have to prepare for picks over 100 ... clubs will have to be super thorough and the Swans are, Sheehan said.
