Houston Astros

From the space-age novelty of the Astrodome to the sign-stealing scandal that made them baseball's most polarizing dynasty, the Astros are a franchise that has always done things on its own terms—brilliant, controversial, and impossible to ignore.

Since 2013

Astros vs. Rangers

The Lone Star Series

The Astros-Rangers rivalry, known as the Lone Star Series, is Major League Baseball's premier intra-state rivalry. While the teams played interleague games for years, the rivalry intensified dramatically when Houston moved to the American League West in 2013, placing both Texas franchises in the same division. The resulting twice-yearly series have become the most anticipated dates on both teams' calendars.
