If anything, this is the best possible match-up. Teams like the Astros (starting pitching) and Yankees (bullpen) at least have one advantage over the Jays. The Rangers realistically have none.

It actually is. Pitching wise Houston has keurchel that's all, angels starters have been brutal all year and their offense is only thing that would give jays trouble. Texas offense has actually been on par or better than the jays past 2 months and next hottest team after the jays is of course the Rangers. Starting pitching could be a wash but given how gallardo has completely owned the jays that could turn the favor for the Rangers.
