The Houston Astros have a little time to savor their American League Championship win against the New York Yankees before retaking the field Tuesday in Game 1 of the World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The Astros shut out the Yankees 4-0 Saturday night in Game 7 of the ALCS, four years after their third straight 100-loss season in 2013.

The Dodgers have been waiting for their opponent since Thursday when they eliminated the Cubs in Chicago.

The four-day break has allowed the 104-win Dodgers to keep their starting rotation in order and on full rest, and to give plenty of recovery time to their dominant bullpen.

It might even be enough time for All-Star shortstop Corey Seager to return from the back injury that kept him out of the NLCS, though a decision on that isn't expected for a few days.
