Like in the 2017 ALCS, the Yankees will host the middle three games in this year’s series. Two years ago, the Yankees swept the set, taking a lead when the series went back to Houston.
This time around, if the Yankees pull off that feat again, they would win the series. Of course, it won’t be that easy, but the next three days are crucial. The Yankees have been excellent at home, and have a chance to get an edge in this series, starting tonight with Game Three.
To try and grab the series lead, the Yankees will send Luis Severino to the mound.
