The Houston Astros are returning to the postseason after winning their eighth AL West title since 2017, thanks to the Texas Rangers' loss to the Minnesota Twins on Sunday.
Houston will host the Chicago White Sox in the AL wild-card series. Game 1 is scheduled for Tuesday at 5 p.m. ET.
The Astros are the first-ever division champions to finish a season without a winning record.
Houston returns to the postseason despite having mutually agreed to part ways with general manager Dana Brown at the end of August.
The Rangers, meanwhile, failed to reach the postseason for the third consecutive season after winning the World Series in 2023.
