After finishing off the Cleveland Guardians in a belated end to their American League Division Series, the New York Yankees will be dealing with quite the quick turnaround to take the field for Game 1 of their ALCS matchup with the Houston Astros tonight.
Game 5 against the Guardians was originally set for Monday night but was postponed to 4:07 p.m. Eastern yesterday due to poor weather.
Tonight's opener at Minute Maid Park is scheduled to start at 7:37 p.m. Eastern, just over 24 hours after the AL East champions wrapped up a series-clinching 5-1 win over Cleveland.
This will be the third ALCS matchup between the Yankees and Astros in the last six MLB seasons. Will the third time be the charm for the Bronx Bombers after losses in 2017 and 2019?
