The 2022 American League Championship Series is the best-of-seven playoff between the two American League Division Series winners, the Houston Astros and the New York Yankees, for the American League (AL) pennant and the right to play in the 2022 World Series.
The series will begin on October 19 with a potential Game 7 scheduled for October 26, with the only planned off day being October 21. TBS will be televising all games in the United States.[1]
Background
The Houston Astros qualified for the postseason as the American League (AL) West division winner.[2] It was their fifth AL West championship in six years and their second straight divisional championship. In the Division Series, they swept the Seattle Mariners.[3] This is the Astros' sixth consecutive appearance in the American League Championship Series (ALCS), an AL record,[4] and the second most consecutive LCS appearances since the Atlanta Braves, who made eight in a row from 1991 to 1999, not counting the canceled 1994 season).[5]
The New York Yankees qualified for the postseason as the AL East division winner. It was their second AL East championship in four years.[6] In the Division Series, they defeated the Cleveland Guardians in five games.[7]
This series will mark the fourth time the two clubs have faced off in the playoffs and the third in the ALCS. The Astros previously defeated the Yankees in the 2015 Wild Card, the 2017 ALCS, and the 2019 ALCS. Houston won five of the seven games against New York during the regular season. This is the first postseason meeting between the two teams since the revelation of the Houston Astros sign stealing scandal, which included the 2017 ALCS; however, despite allegations, there was no evidence for electronic sign stealing during the 2019 season.[8]
