It took a little bit longer than most expected, but the New York Yankees and Houston Astros- the two best teams in the American League and perhaps the two best in all of Major League Baseball this year- are finally set to face off over the next two weeks with a World Series berth on the line.
These clubs took diametrically opposed paths on their way to the ALCS. The Yankees efficiently swept the Minnesota Twins, outscoring them 23-7 and generally looking like the dominant team many envisioned at the start of the season.
