The moment has finally arrived, the Houston Astros know what they will be doing this weekend. They will begin a best of seven ALCS series starting Friday versus the New York Yankees at Minute Maid Park. That is right. The Astros will have homefield advantage because they finished with 101 wins, while the Yankees only won 91 games.
Close your eyes and imagine a sea of orange at Minute Maid Park. Now, picture Dallas Keuchel walking up to the mound to face the Yankees. Keuchel has been ‘pretty good’ in his career versus the Yankees, so it’s only fitting that he will open the series up on Friday night at 7:08 PM CT.
