Houston hosts Chicago in the AL Wild Card series at Daikin Park Tuesday, Sept. 29, at 5 p.m. ET; Game 2 is Wednesday at the same time. Both are listed on NBCSN, fubo and Peacock. A deciding Game 3 would be Thursday, with its time and channel TBD.
The Oct. 1 Game 3 is conditional. Its start time and channel depend on how many Wild Card series reach a third game; if all four do, it will use the same time and channel as Games 1 and 2.
Houston reached the postseason as AL West champion despite an 81-81 record. Yordan Alvarez led MLB in batting average (.316), on-base percentage (.432) and slugging (.604). Chicago is back in the playoffs for the first time since a four-game Division Series loss to Houston in 2021.
