The Houston Astros have been the one constant in the LCS round of the Major League Baseball postseason.
Houston will start its seventh straight ALCS on Sunday against the Texas Rangers. The Astros are the only team who earned a bye into the division series to still be alive in the postseason.
Houston and the Philadelphia Phillies are four wins away from setting up a World Series rematch.
Philadelphia opens the NLCS on Monday against the Arizona Diamondbacks in the second straight matchup of wild-card teams in the NLCS.
Arizona and Texas face a clear disadvantage in experience, but they can make up for that with strong pitching.
