The Houston Astros are in a familiar place, while the New York Yankees face a familiar foe.

It is the Astros’ sixth consecutive season in the ALCS. It is Houston’s third matchup with the Yankees since 2017.

New York lost both ALCS games against Houston. The Yankees lost six games in 2019 and seven thrillers in 2017.

The Astros expect to win again. Oddsmakers set Houston as the -190 ALCS favorite. Since moving to the American League, the Astros have gone 3-0 directly against the Yankees in the MLB playoff series.

Houston is 5-2 in a row against the Yankees this season. Minute Maid Park is 3-0, and Yankee Stadium is 2-2.

The Astros are 9-3 in their previous 12 home games against the Yankees. They are 6-5 SU in their last 11 games between the two teams at Yankee Stadium.

Houston has a better pitching staff, and the rotation is all in the order they want. New York is scrambling for Rotations and battling injury problems throughout the Diamonds. The Yankees are still sorting out who is the best option at shortstop.
