The Tampa Bay Rays don’t have long to savor an intense game five victory over the New York Yankees. Less than 48 hours after their celebratory dance-off they are scheduled to take on the Houston Astros in the American League Championship Series.
The Astros defeated the Oakland Athletics in four games so they come into the series with two days rest instead of one.
This will be the Rays second ALCS in franchise history. They won their first trip in 2008, defeating the Boston Red Sox in seven games.
Last season the Rays and Astros faced off in an exciting five game series in the American League Division Series that went the Astros way.
