The Houston Astros and Texas Rangers are locked in a heated battle in the American League Championship Series (ALCS) with a World Series berth on the line. The Astros struck first and last in a Game 5 victory over the Rangers, while tensions escalated between the two teams in Game 6. Both the Phillies and Astros are one win away from reaching the World Series, marking the first time since 1978 that both reigning pennant winners are on the cusp of a World Series berth. A win for the Astros would send them to their fifth World Series appearance in the last seven years.
Astros are looking for their fifth trip to the World Series in the past seven years. They are looking to become the first team to win three consecutive pennants since the 1998-2001 Yankees won four in a row.
