In Game 1 of the ALCS, the New York Yankees and Houston Astros set a postseason record for the biggest disparity in strikeouts between two teams (Yankees-17, Astros-2). Meanwhile, Houston beat New York at its own game, outslugging the Yankees three home runs to two, in a game where five solo home runs accounted for the six total runs.'
Houston is now 7-1 all-time at home against New York in the playoffs, and took the first team in repeating history of the 2017 and 2019 ALCS’s. Can the Astros take a commanding 2-0 series lead, or will the Yankees even things up heading back to the Bronx in Game 3.
