I saw Buster Olney mention that a rainout Wednesday could be to the Astros' benefit since the Yankees have been so reliant on their bullpen. Potentially four games in four days feels like it could be disastrous for a team as reliant on its pen as the Yankees are.
Looking more and more likely that Wednesday is a rainout. Thursday will be cool (40's-50's) with a solid wind blowing out to RC/RF in that dumbass bandbox of a stadium.
If Stanton is injured, Stros should win in 6. FIVE would further derail any disrespect, but that’s more difficult after allowing the TB series to extend.
Yeah, but that helps the Astros. Game 2 ended at midnight. Game 3 is starting 39 hours later after a travel day. That's gonna be taxing on the Yankees bullpen.
The Yankees played 144 games without Stanton this season. While it certainly helps if he is not in the lineup, New York managed just fine without him this season.
