Everything is certainly bigger deep in the heart of Texas this baseball postseason.
– Everything is certainly bigger deep in the heart of Texas this baseball postseason, with a Lone Star State showdown for a spot in the World Series.. This time, the Astros play the up-and-coming Texas Rangers, who led them in the AL West standings for most of the season but again didn't fare well in the head-to-head matchups.ALCS opener will be played Sunday night“There's a lot of intensity. ... I'd say we're rivals,” first-year Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said Thursday.
Houston has dominated the AL West since the Rangers won the division in 2016, their last winning season before this year. The Astros have since been to the World Series four times, winning two of them, and the only time without a division title was the abbreviated 60-game regular season during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, when as a wild-card team they lost a seven-game ALCS to Tampa Bay.
“A lot of people were wondering what it was gonna be like if the ’Stros didn’t win the division,” third baseman Alex Bregman said at the start of their champagne celebration after the regular-season finale. “I guess we’ll never know.” “It's a heated rivalry. I understand why there's some animosity,” Rangers first baseman Nathaniel Lowe said.
