My Facebook feed popped up with the schedule date release a year ago... so I started searching twitter. The MLB Yankee site looks legit. Assuming Astros and Yanks are both the 1 and 2 seed .... https://www.mlb.com/yankees/tickets/postseason/schedule It looks like we play in Houston no matter what on 10/4 and 10/5 for the first round against the 3 or 4 seed. Also dig deeper and you can make sense of the ALCS dates. 10/12 start date depending on seed.
One thing we can probably bank on: As long as the Yankees/Red Sox are in the playoffs and on the other side of the bracket as us, we will be getting the afternoon time slot in the first round. It sucks complete ass, but it is what it is.
