What TV channel are the Texas Rangers on today? How to watch Rangers vs. Astros ALCS

After a six-year playoff drought, the Texas Rangers are not only in the playoffs, but they are making some serious noise. For just the third time in franchise history and the first time since 2011, the Rangers find themselves in the ALCS. This time against the defending World Series champions, the Houston Astros.

The opening game of the series will feature the pitching matchup of the Rangers LHP Jordan Montgomery, going against last year's Cy Young award winner, RHP Justin Verlander. Montgomery will look to bounce back after a shaky start in Game 2 of the ALDS against the Baltimore Orioles. The Rangers won the game thanks to a huge day from the offense, but Montgomery did give up four earned runs over four innings of work. He was marvelous though, in his first postseason outing this year against the Tampa Bay Rays, in which he went seven scoreless innings and picked up the win.

These two teams know each other well, and that familiarity should turn into some exciting, and sometimes intense, moments.
