The New York Yankees were eliminated in the American League Division Series by their archrivals, the Boston Red Sox. The Houston Astros, a team with a modern rivalry with the Yankees since the second half of last decade, beat the Sox in the Championship Series and is now playing the Fall Classic with the Atlanta Braves.
The Braves won Game 1 in Houston on Tuesday, but the Astros took Game 2 on Wednesday to level the series at one win apiece.
Former Yankees’ pitcher CC Sabathia already has his favorite. And his answer may surprise you, given that, in 2017, he played against the Astros of the sign-stealing scandal.
