Jose Altuve and the Houston Astros resume their chase for a fifth consecutive American League West title against Wyatt Langford and the Texas Rangers on Saturday, September 6, at 7:00 PM ET on Fox. This is the third time that Houston & Texas are pitted against each other. The Rangers hold a slim 4-3 series lead while outscoring the Astros 28-20. Two years removed from a classic seven-game ALCS between the clubs, can both Texas teams make the postseason in 2025? There is a realistic chance of that being the case. This series is vital for both teams, as the Astros and Rangers must prove they can close the deal and earn a spot in the 2025 MLB Postseason. Houston looks to fend off Julio Rodríguez and the Seattle Mariners in the American League West race. Texas, on the other hand, is just one game behind Seattle for the final spot in the playoffs. A series win for the Rangers (along with some help from the Braves) could significantly alter the AL Wild Card situation. Pretty remarkable that 35-year-old Jose Altuve is still doing it. The Astros have been blessed to have this man for a decade and a half. Obviously, Altuve is a future first-ballot Hall of Famer. Jose leads the team in home runs (24) and hits (141). 🎤 Play-by-play commentator Wayne Randazzo teams up with analyst and Hall of Famer John Smoltz and reporter Ken Rosenthal for Astros vs. Rangers.
Rafael Devers and the San Francisco Giants travel to St. Louis for a National League contest against Masyn Winn and the St. Louis Cardinals [with both teams fighting to keep hope alive for a playoff spot] on Saturday, September 6 at 7:00 PM ET on Fox. Yes, this is the first meeting between these teams, and the regular season concludes soon. Last year, the Cardinals dominated the season series vs. the Giants, taking five of the six games. St. Louis outscored San Francisco 37-22 across the six matchups. As you guys know, time is running out for San Francisco and St. Louis to make a run towards a postseason berth. Both teams are chasing the Cincinnati Reds while also looking up at the New York Mets, the current holder of the final Wild Card spot in the National League. Things become more difficult with a series defeat here. Giants shortstop Willy Adames is coming off a prolific month of August, blasting nine of his 26 home runs (which leads the team) during that month. 🎤 Play-by-play commentator Alex Faust and analyst Eric Karros provide commentary for Giants vs. Cardinals.
A couple of American League Central teams get together when Byron Buxton and the Minnesota Twins play Bobby Witt Jr. and the Kansas City Royals, going after the final Wild Card spot in the American League, on Saturday, September 6, at 7:00 PM ET on Fox. The Twins and Royals wrap up their regular season series with this three-game series from Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City. Things look bleak for Minnesota, as they are fading from the playoff picture. Barring a miracle, this Twins ball club will be missing the postseason for the second consecutive season. Meanwhile, things are more optimistic and upbeat for Kansas City, as the team tries to return to the postseason for the second straight year, following their surprising run to the playoffs last year (after a nine-year absence). Kansas City trails Seattle by two and a half games for the last berth in the American League postseason. However, the Royals and Mariners are scheduled to play a three-game series in Kansas City later on this month. Royals first baseman Vinnie Pasquantino has provided a shot in the arm for a team that needs somebody to step up. He paces the club in home runs (28) and RBI (95). 🎤 Cory Provus calls play-by-play for Twins-Royals alongside analyst and World Series champion Dontrelle Willis.
