Houston Astros vs Texas Rangers: Live streaming, TV, start time, venue, schedule, where to watch Championship Series

Houston Astros must win Game 2 because if they go to Arlington down 2-0, it would be challenging to win the series even for the defending champions. Considering the fact that they lost only one game at Minute Maid Park in last season's championship, it will be an uphill task for the Texas Rangers to beat them. But the way the Rangers stole Game 1 of the 2023 ALCS on Sunday night was really magnificent. They walked away with a road win and survived a solid start by Astros ace Justin Verlander.

As far as Monday's game is concerned, the Rangers' offense is hoping for even more success against Framber Valdez. As Valdez struggled in the Astros' loss to the Twins in the ALDS, Houston need an ace-like performance from the left-hander.
