After starting August on the road, the New York Yankees return home tonight to start a three-game series against the Houston Astros.
In their most recent game, the struggling Yankees snapped a five-game losing streak with a 3-2 win against the Texas Rangers. With the playoffs inching closer, the Yankees, at third in the AL East (6.5 games behind the first-place Blue Jays), are currently in the third wild card spot.
This weekend, they’ll face an Astros team who are still atop the AL Central, but have gone 4-6 in their last 10 games.
