With Yanks poised to finish ‘Stros, it feels like a pinstripe-friendly October

After a truly sweet three-game sweep at the Stadium, the New York Yankees stand one win away from the World Series — with the momentum all on their side.

They were down 2-0 in the series heading back to New York, but the Baby Bombers already showed Cleveland how fearsome they are with their backs against the wall. Now it was Houston’s turn.

First came an 8-1 blowout behind CC Sabathia, then a comeback from a four-run hole in Game Four, thanks to big blows by Aaron Judge and Gary Sanchez.
