ALCS game times revealed in best-of-7 Astros-Rangers clash with World Series trip on the line

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Five of the seven American League Championship Series games are getting the primetime treatment.

And why not? Baseball-watching Americans are being offered the first-ever all-Lone Star State ALCS in history.

The Houston Astros hold homefield advantage over their AL West rivals, the Texas Rangers when the league championship round begins Sunday.

Both teams finished the regular season with a simultaneous 90-72 record, but since Houston earned more wins against its north Texas counterparts nine out of 13 times, the ‘Stros earned the AL West Division championship.

The ‘Stros got to their AL-best seventh consecutive league championship series by eliminating the Minnesota Twins in four games. The Rangers swept their AL Division Series with the Baltimore Orioles and earned their first ALCS berth since 2011 when they lost the second of back-to-back World Series appearances.

Minute Maid Park and Globe Life Field in Arlington will serve as the ALCS venues.
