The defending World Series champion Houston Astros are next up in the American League Division Series. How the twins did against them in the regular season and more.

A position-by-position comparison of the Twins and Astros shows which team has the edge in the best-of-five series that starts Saturday in Houston.

The Rangers swept the Orioles, so the Twins will play Game 4 and Game 5, if necessary, at night.

The loss of Sonny Gray and Kenta Maeda cost the Twins pitching depth but much of the offensive power from late last season returns.

The Suns’ Devin Booker got in foul trouble during a first half that featured a lot of contact.

NHL Central Scouting ranks players ahead of next weekend’s draft in Las Vegas.
