Free MLB Pick
Dallas Keuchel was the Ace of the Astros staff this season and he ranked 1st in the AL in wins and 2nd in ERA. He will be working on short rest for this first time in his career after his last start on the 2nd where he went 6 innings and gave up 2 earned runs in a 21-5 rout of the Arizona Diamondbacks. Houston has won their last 3 games when he has gotten the start. In his career facing the Yankees Keuchel has pitched 16 scoreless innings, with 21 strikeouts, and only 1 walk. Masahiro Tanaka gets the start for the Yankees in this Wild Card game and in his last outing he gave up 4 earned runs in 5 innings in a 9-5 loss to the Boston Red Sox. The Yankees lost 3 of their last 4 games, including their last 2, when he has gotten the start.
The Astros were 15 games under .500 on the road this season, but with Keuchel on the hill they will take this game and advance to the ALDS.
