How to Watch Yankees-Astros Baseball ALCS Game 6 Live Stream Online

Without question, the Houston Astros must be nothing short of elated to return home to Minute Maid Park. Following three straight losses in the Bronx, the Astros look to stave off elimination in Game 6 of the American League Championship Series against the New York Yankees.

Houston won the first two games of the series at home behind some wonderful starting pitching by Dallas Keuchel and Justin Verlander. But then it was off to New York, where the starting pitching wasn’t as great, and the bats were all but silent. Three stunning losses, Houston’s season is on the line Friday night.

Going down two games to none in playoff series would not seem to be a recipe for success in October. But after overcoming a 2-0 deficit against Cleveland, the Yankees are just one win away from doing it again, and punching their ticket to the Fall Classic. The Yankees have been outstanding at home, going 6-0 this postseason counting their Wild Card win against Minnesota. But they’ve been 1-4 away from the Bronx. They’ll need to add to that win tally in Houston, or else their season will be over.

Justin Verlander gets the ball for Houston, hoping to duplicate his complete game win from last Saturday. The Yankees counter with hard-throwing Luis Severino.

First pitch is at 4:08 p.m. ET. The game will air on Fox Sports 1. Joe Buck and John Smoltz have the call. The action can be streamed free with a cable subscription on pc, cell phone, or tablet via Fox Sports Go — which can be downloaded via the iTunes store, and the Google Play store.
