Both will be desperate to make the World Series and you can watch every pitch and home run by reading our guide on getting a Astros vs Yankees live stream from pretty much anywhere in the world.
So far the 2019 ALCS series is beautifully poised at a game apiece as the players head to New York City.
The Yankees went big in Game 1, with second baseman Gleyber Torres putting five RBIs against his name. While it was a sorry day for Cy Young Award-winning Astros starter Zack Greinke who gave up seven hits in the first six innings.
But the Stros turned things around a day later in a nerve-jangling game at the Minute Maid Stadium that went to an eleventh innings. Carlos Correa was the hero of the hour with a collosal match-winning home run. Although Aaron Judge's two-run homer earlier in the game reminded everybody of what a threat he'll continue to be as the series progresses.
