In one ALDS, division champions will meet in a matchup featuring the two most recent American League pennant winners - Cleveland Indians and the dynamic duo of Jose Ramirez and Francisco Lindor vs. the defending World Series Champion Houston Astros and stars Jose Altuve, Alex Bregman, Carlos Correa and George Springer. Don Orsillo will be joined by Eckersley and reporter Hazel Mae to call the Indians/Astros series.

In the other ALDS on TBS, the Boston Red Sox and Cy Young candidate Chris Sale will face the winner of the A.L. Wild Card Game. Anderson will call play-by-play for the Red Sox series alongside Darling and reporter Shehadi.
