The schedule does not get any easier for the Yankees as they enter a four-game set against the Houston Astros at the Stadium. Two teams heading in opposite directions following the trade deadline, the Astros find themselves in the thick of a divisional race while the Yankees slowly slip further away from a Wild Card spot.

Brian Cashman says the Yankees are “in it to win it” and if he means physically fielding a team against the Astros, then he is correct.
