Yankees to Host Astros in Tuesday Wild Card

Despite losing five of their last six games to limp into the playoffs, the New York Yankees will have a home playoff game.

The Yankees will host the Houston Astros on Tuesday night at 8 p.m. at Yankee Stadium.

Masahiro Tanaka will get the ball for the Yanks. He'll be opposed by former Tri-City ValleyCat Dallas Keuchel.

Tanaka is 12-7 with a 3.51 ERA this season. He missed time in the middle of the season with injury but has the capability to be the shutdown ace that the Yanks paid for last season when they signed the free agent from Japan.

However, as Buster Olney points out, Yankee fans have this to worry about:

Something will have to give for Keuchel. He is 2-0 with 16.0 scoreless innings against New York this season.

However, away from Houston? Keuchel is just 5-8 this year with a 3.77 ERA. He was 15-0 at Minutemaid Park, so getting the home game was huge for New York.
