Disclaimer: If you think this is the official website of the New York Yankees, you're an idiot. Go away.
Here we go again: The Yankees and Astros open the American League Championship Series at 8 p.m. ET on Saturday at Minute Maid Park. Inevitable, right?
It has felt that way for months, even if the Rays, Athletics, Twins, et al, had other ideas. It also feels right that one of these teams will play in the World Series. The Astros and Yankees are the AL’s marquee teams at the moment. Both ran away with their divisions, both had 100-win seasons, and both expected to be here.
