The Astros didn't know they'd be facing the Yankees until about 24 hours before first...
Houston Astros manager Dusty Baker Jr. during batting practice ahead of Game 1 of baseball’s American League Championship Series at Minute Maid Park on Tuesday, Oct. 18, 2022 in Houston .The Astros were in the unusual position of working out a day before the American League Championship Series without knowing the identity of their opponent.
Obviously, the team sleeping in its own bed, resting up and setting up its pitching rotation has the advantage over the team that has to fly 1,600 miles the night before a big game, but it did mess with the Astros' preparation a bit. Justin Verlander, who will get the start in Game 1, is thankful for the seven days of rest he’s getting after his last outing in which, but he said the delay in knowing the opponent will force him into some late-night homework.
“I think you want to know your opponent as well as possible,” Verlander said. “After we figure out who we're playing then, yeah, I mean, it's like a cram session for a test the next day that you're probably a little late for, but you’ve still got time to get all the answers or at least do the studying that you need. That's what it will be like.”
Astros right fielder Kyle Tucker said there would be plenty of time to study matchups against Yankees pitchers before the start of the ALCS.
