AL Wild Card Preview: Dallas Keuchel leading Astros against Yankees on three-days rest

What could go wrong?

Playoff baseball is here! While I’d much rather be stressed out waiting for the Cleveland Indians to play, a part of me always enjoys being able to relax and watch the MLB postseason. To start things off we have the American League Wild Card featuring the Houston Astros, led by Cy Young candidate Dallas Keuchel, and the New York Yankees with Masahiro Tanaka.

Keuchel, while obviously the better starter among the two pitchers, is going on only three days’ rest. With the Astros playoff hopes not solidified until the final day of the regular season, Houston called upon Keuchel to pitch on October 2 against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
