About New York Yankees vs. Houston Astros
Move over Red Sox, here come the Astros
It goes without saying that a rivalry makes and keeps Major League Baseball (MLB) interesting. A loyal fan base has two rooting interests – their team and the hated rivals. However, a rivalry is also a double-edged sword – while it entertains, it also dwindles over a period of time. The Yankees-Red Sox rivalry is one such example. While it exists, it’s nowhere near its peak, especially with the departure of David Ortiz. This is not to suggest that the Yankees’ fans have nothing to look forward to. In recent years, the Yankees and their fans have learned to absolutely hate a new rival, the Houston Astros. The rivalry started when the Houston Astros moved to the American League (AL) in 2013. While the Yankees lead in the head-to-head record, it is anybody’s guess whether they will be able to retain the lead over their South Texan rivals for long.

2015 Wild Card Game –
The 2015 season was special for the Yankees for two reasons – First, they made the playoffs after two years and second, they did it without Derek Jeter, their longtime captain. There was however another reason for the early Yankees celebration, they got into the playoffs despite getting a tough time by the Astros during the regular season. Therefore, it was natural for the Yankees to ask the Baseball gods to not pit them against the Astros in the playoffs. It was not to be. While the Yankees had Masahiro Tanaka, he was no match for Dallas Keuchel. Interestingly, Keuchel had frustrated the Yankees with his form in the regular season too. In the post-season game, he struck out seven batters and allowed only three hits over six shutout innings, as the Yankees failed to score even a single run. The Yankees lost the game 3-0. Dallas Keuchel won the Cy Young Award of the year.Yankees vs. Astros - Head-to-Head Record
