ALCS Game 6: How To Watch New York Yankees Vs. Houston Astros

The New York Yankees need to win one more game against the Houston Astros to play in the World Series for the first time since 2009.

NEW YORK, NY — The New York Yankees are one win away from the World Series, and beating the two best teams in the American League to get there. The Yankees head back to Houston Friday for Game 6 of the American League Championship Series. First pitch is set for shortly after 8 p.m. eastern time.

After falling behind two game to none to start the ALCS, the Yankees came roaring back to win three straight games at home. Now the Bronx Bombers need to win just one of two remaining games in Houston in order to set up a matchup with historic rivals the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The Yankees will have to figure out Houston starting pitcher Justin Verlander, who pitched a complete game shutout in Game 2 of the series. The good news for the Yankees is that the "Baby Bombers" Aaron Judge and Gary Sanchez are seemingly breaking out of their postseason slumps. Young ace Luis Severino will draw the start for the Yankees in Game 6.
