The winner will advance to the World Series, where they'll play either the Philadelphia Phillies or the San Diego Padres.

This is the third time in six postseasons that these two teams have played against one another in the ALCS. The Astros, it should be noted, have won both of those series.

How to watch

Featured Game| New York Yankees vs. Houston Astros

The Astros will turn to Javier for the second time this postseason, and the first time in a starting role. In the Division Series against the Seattle Mariners, he threw 1 1/3 innings in relief. This will mark his 13th career playoffs appearance. The Yankees will counter with Cole. He pitched twice in New York's Division Series against the Cleveland Guardians, surrendering three runs in 13-plus innings of work. This will be his 17th career postseason appearance, and his first against his old teammates in Houston.

Prediction

You've heard that scouts root for outs? We're rooting for seven games. The Astros winning would cause us to stray further from that goal, so we'll predict that the Yankees get on the board.
