The Rangers and Astros are set to battle for a spot in the World Series. Houston will host Texas at Minute Maid Park on Sunday night. Right-hander Justin Verlander is slated to take the mound for Houston in Game One, while Texas has yet to name its starter. Both teams finished the regular season with identical 90-and-72 records, but Houston took home its third straight AL West crown. Texas is coming off a three-game sweep of the Baltimore Orioles in the ALDS, while the Astros advanced following a 3-1 series win over the Minnesota Twins.
