The New York Yankees are opening up a new series in MLB on Tuesday against the Houston Astros.
Houston has notably struggled over the past week, while the Yankees are fresh off a series win over their divisional rivals, the Toronto Blue Jays.
Before the Astros series began, the New York Yankees announced their game one lineup, and it features zero changes by manager Aaron Boone. Let’s get into some reactions by the New York faithful after the lineup was released.
For the Astros, Ethan Pecko (RHP) is getting the start on Tuesday, and the Yankees are rolling with Will Warren in the series opener.

Looking at the New York Yankees Right Now…
The New York Yankees, despite still being without Aaron Judge, have quietly played really good baseball lately.
New York is 74-56, and just 3,5 games back of the Tampa Bay Rays for first place in the AL East.
There is still plenty of time for the Yanks to catch the Rays in the division, and New York’s spot atop the AL Wild Card looks fairly safe.
As of now, it would be the Yankees matching up against the Boston Red Sox (again) in the AL Wild Card round.
