Texas Rangers-Houston Astros ALCS brings high stakes to Silver Boot rivalry

Two rival teams built in very different ways clash in an all-Texas matchup for a trip to the World Series.

The last time the Rangers were any good — the 2015-16 playoff losses to Toronto — Houston was still finding its way around the American League, although the foundation for the empire was being built. As the Astros arrived on center stage in 2017, the Rangers retreated and, in a national sense,. In a span of one week, the Rangers achieved something that has eluded the Cowboys in their last 27 seasons. They reached the final four of their sport.

The Astros got wins in Minnesota from Cristian Javier, who struggled much of the season, and Jose Urquidy, who finished the regular season as a long man in the bullpen. Now their rotation looks deeper than it has all season.
