ALCS GAME 1
Breakdown of the Astros-Yankees Game 1 at Minute Maid Park
The Astros and Yankees begin the ALCS tonight. Here is a preview of tonight’s game. Check back during the game for inning by inning updates:
When: 7 p.m.
Where: Minute Maid Park.
TV: Fox Sports 1.
Streaming: Fox Sports Go.
Game 1 pitching matchup: Dallas Keuchel vs. Masahiro Tanaka.
The breakdown: The Yankees are coming off a big win over the Indians in the ALDS, coming back from a 2-0 deficit. They should have won Game 2. That coupled with the win in the wild-card game over the Twins gives them a ton of momentum heading into the series. The Astros will send Keuchel to the mound in Game 1 and Justin Verlander in Game 2. While the Yankees are on a roll, the Astros have been the better team all year. Should be a great matchup with the World Series berth on the line.
