The Houston Astros are on the road this weekend for a three-game set against the New York Yankees, and the series could be a preview of one we see in October. The Astros are currently sitting in first place in the American League West, while the Yankees are clinging to the final wild-card spot in the American League.
This could be a pivotal series for the American League postseason picture, as the Astros have a chance to deliver a knockout blow to the Yankees.
Once battling with the Tigers for the top spot in the AL, the Yankees' season has been spiraling out of control in recent weeks.
