The New York Yankees need to extend innings if they want to make it to the World Series

Division Series - Cleveland Guardians v New York Yankees - Game 5 The Yankees can't fall back into the hitting slump that plagued them in the middle of the regular season. They can't rely on to single-handidly carry the offense. Other hitters need to step up. Guys at the bottom of the lineup need to contribute and keep the innings going for the Yankees' offense. Harrison Bader and Oswald Peraza will be key to New York's success against the Astros. The Yankees will need strong games from their big three in Judge, Giancarlo Stanton, and Anthony Rizzo. At the top of the lineup, the offense starts with them. If all three of them are seeing the ball well at the plate, no pitcher stands a chance. They will need to get their bats going early and often if they want to take down the Houston Astros. The Yankees will be in Houston to face the Astros for Game 1 of the ALCS tonight at Minute Maid Park. The first pitch is scheduled for 7:37pm/ET.
