Forget the World Series. This ALCS is the matchup people have been waiting for, as the 107-win Astros and 103-win Yankees are set to meet for the second time in three years with a trip to the Fall Classic on the line. In 2017, the wild-card Yankees were a surprise to get that far and took Houston to seven games before losing. On Saturday, the two teams with the best records remaining in the playoffs open the series in Houston. Though when the postseason started, the Astros would have been the favorites, their five-game series against the Rays may give the well-rested Yankees the edge.
