Texas at Toronto 3:30 PM ET
The Toronto Blue Jays play their first postseason game in 22 years when
they host the Texas Rangers on Thursday in the opening game of the
American League Division Series. Joe Carter's walk-off homer against
Philadelphia won the 1993 World Series for the Blue Jays and the
franchise hasn't been part of the postseason since that memorable
moment.
Houston at Kansas City 7:30 PM ET
The Kansas City Royals begin defense of their American League pennant
while the visiting Houston Astros attempt to be this year's surprise
postseason force when the AL Division Series opens on Thursday. Kansas
City took the wild-card route to the World Series a year ago and now
Houston is looking to duplicate the feat after dispatching the New York
Yankees in Tuesday's wild-card contest.
