The dominant Astros are one win away from the World Series. In the American League Championship Series Houston shut out the New York Yankees 5-0 on Saturday to take a commanding 3-0 series lead. For today’s Game 5 in the Bronx, the Yankees’ hopes rely on the left arm of starter Nestor Cortez, while the Astros turn to righty Lance McCullers. Houston hasn’t lost yet in the playoffs and another win sends them to the World Series for the fourth time in six years. Game 4 of the ALCS between the Yankees and Astros is scheduled for 7:07 p.m. ET (4:07 p.m. PT) on TBS.
