MORE: Watch Yankees vs. Astros live with Sling TV Yordan Alvarez was arguably the best player in all of baseball during the divisional round, hitting a pair of home runs, including the three-run walk-off homer in Game 1 that crushed the spirit of the upstart Mariners. Alvarez then hit a go-ahead homer in Game 2 off of Luis Castillo that gave the Astros a 2-0 lead in the series before they won 1-0 in Game 3's 18-inning affair. On New York's side, Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton came alive in the back half of the series against the Guardians. They both hit homers in the first two innings of Game 5 to propel the Yankees to this point. The top of the Yankee order will have to be similarly effective if they're going to have a shot against the vaunted Astros.
