The New York Yankees are playing the Houston Astros in a four-game set at Yankee Stadium, and you can feel the playoff-esque atmosphere in the stadium, in the players and their reactions — in everything.
These two ballclubs have built a rivalry over the last few years, having played each other in two of the previous five American League Championship Series. The Astros were victorious in both 2017 and ‘19 (not to mention the 2015 AL Wild Card Game), and can probably be seen as the biggest thorn in the Yankees’ side in recent memory.
