The all-Texas ALCS gets started Sunday night as the penultimate round kicks off in the 2023 MLB Playoffs. It’s Astros vs. Rangers in the ALCS and Phillies vs. Diamondbacks in the NLCS as just four teams remain in the 2023 MLB playoff bracket. The Astros, looking for their fifth American League pennant in seven years, have home-field advantage against the Rangers and will host Sunday night’s Game 1. The NLCS gets going Monday night as the Phillies host the D-backs.
Houston is the only division winner left standing in these playoffs. The 104-win Braves, 101-win Orioles and 100-win Dodgers were all sent home in the LDS round, combining to go 1-9 in the playoffs. The AL Central champion Twins were also ousted in the ALDS, and the Marlins, Brewers, Blue Jays and Rays were bounced in the Wild Card Series.
The 2023 MLB playoffs will last until at least Oct. 31, and a World Series Game 7 would take place on Saturday, Nov. 4. The World Series starts on Friday, Oct. 27.
