Astros One Game From Fall Classic
After an absolutely dominant win in the Bronx last night, the Astros are now one game from reaching the World Series.
Defeating the Yankees in the Bronx is a hard task to accomplish… unless you are the Houston Astros.
The Astros who were once down 1-0 in this series are now up 3-1.
Three to one ... blast off. #ALCS pic.twitter.com/DqDYGk9W1M

New York will never win in the Championship series if they can not capitalize with runners on base.
The New York Yankees went 0-7 with runners in scoring position and left 17 men on base. THAT’S RIGHT! A team with 103 regular season wins has left 17 runners on base. INCLUDING having the bases loaded with two outs TWICE.
Tanka took the loss last night for the Yankees. Now 1-1 this Championship series, Tanka delt 5 innings and allowed 4 runs. He also walked 2 batters and had a strikeout.
New York is struggling because of its key players not being able to produce. Encarnacion was seen striking out last night with the bases loaded and so was Gleyber Torres.
NOT ONE PLAYER IN THE BOTTOM FIVE OF THIS YANKEES LINE UP IS HITTING OVER .133 THIS POSTSEASON. This is including the HORRENDOUS .067 by their DH.

The Yankees are continuing to struggle when it counts, and it is not just the pitching.
Do the Yankees have any chance of coming back?
Will the winner of this series win the World Series?
