It's the American League Championship Series, which means the Houston Astros are playing. The Astros — through all the self-inflicted turmoil in the wake of the sign-stealing scandal — have reached the ALCS for the sixth straight season. For the third time in that run, they're matching up with the New York Yankees. The first two times, Houston prevailed — much to the chagrin of Yankees fans. They're threatening to do so again. The Astros lead this series 2-0 after dominating the Yankees with stellar pitching in Houston.
The series heads to the Bronx Saturday for Game 3, with Gerrit Cole on the mound for the Yankees.
