Houston will send ace Dallas Keuchel to the mound as he will look to dominate the Yankees just like he did in October. The 28 year old left hander won the AL Cy Young in 2015 after leading the league in wins (20), WHIP (1.017), ERA+ (162), and innings pitched (232). Keuchel also finished with a 2.48 ERA, second in the league. He completed his best season with his second consecutive Gold Glove.

The Yankees will counter by sending their ace Masahiro Tanaka to the mound. Tanaka went 12-7 in 2015 with a 3.51 ERA. In 154 innings, he struck out 139 batters while walking just 27. He finished the season with a WHIP of 0.994, though he didn’t qualify for the league lead.
