The matchup is set.  The Houston Astros will take on the Texas Rangers in the American League Championship Series to determine who goes on to the World Series.

As is customary the last couple of years, the mayors of Houston and Arlington have extended a friendly wager with one another before the series kicks off this weekend.


Arlington mayor Jim Ross asked Houston mayor Sylvester Turner if he wanted to make the series more "interesting," and proposed the mayor of the losing team wear the other's jersey during a city council meeting.

Turner accepted the bet and doesn't appear worried at all, as he said he has "had the pleasure of seeing the Astros win the World Series twice."

Game 1 of the ALCS kicks off Sunday night in Houston.  The series schedule is as follows:

Game 1: Sunday, Oct. 15 at Minute Maid Park | 7:15 p.m.
Game 2: Monday, Oct. 16 at Minute Maid Park | 3:37 p.m.
Game 3: Wednesday, Oct. 18 at Globe Life Field | 7:03 p.m.
Game 4: Thursday, Oct. 19 at Globe Life Field | 7:03 p.m.

Game 6 (if necessary): Sunday, Oct. 22 at Minute Maid Park | 7:03 p.m.
