Astros vs. Yankees: ALCS Game 5 Time, TV Info, Live Stream and More
The Houston Astros will look to secure their second World Series trip in three years Friday night.
Houston enters Game 5 of the American League Championship Series with a 3-1 lead over the New York Yankees.
The Yankees have slumped at the plate after winning Game 1 7-0, scoring four runs across the three games since, and it won't get any easier for them in Game 5 when Justin Verlander starts for the Astros.
New York will have to try to summon the offensive firepower that landed them first in runs (943) and second in home runs (306) to end the regular season while also trusting starting pitcher James Paxton to shut down the Astros.
