First thing I’ll say is, them Yankees, they sure know how to put up a fight. When ya look at the head-to-head stats between the New York Yankees and the Houston Astros, well, it’s like a back-and-forth struggle, but the Yankees got the upper hand more often than not. Out of 75 games played since 2003, the Yankees managed to win 41 times, while the Astros only pulled through 34 times. Yankees scored 305 runs total, while the Astros only got 278. That right there shows you the Yankees been puttin’ up more points on the board over the years.
Now, let’s talk about some of them key players in these games. Lookin’ at the most recent match, Yankees beat the Astros 5-4 on March 28, 2024. Now that’s a close one, but the Yankees came out on top. Them Yankees had a good crowd too, with 42,642 folks sittin’ in them stands watchin’ the game. And that game didn’t take too long neither, only lasted 2 hours and 41 minutes. Y’know, them fans don’t like waitin’ too long for their fun.
And if you’re wonderin’ how them Yankees managed to beat them Astros, well, let’s take a look at some of them player stats. It’s clear that the Yankees had a few standout players that day. We ain’t got all the details here, but lookin’ at the big picture, players like Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton often come through in the clutch, makin’ the big plays when it counts. They’ve been a real thorn in the Astros’ side, let me tell ya.
Now, don’t be thinkin’ the Astros ain’t got no good players, though. They’ve had themselves some strong seasons too. Back in the 2022 ALCS, the Astros knocked out them Yankees 4-0. That was a tough pill to swallow for Yankees fans, no doubt about it. But them Astros? They sure know how to show up when it matters most. Players like Jose Altuve and Yordan Alvarez been puttin’ in work for Houston, and they’ve had some good times goin’ up against the Yankees in them playoffs. Even though the Yankees got the better regular season record, them Astros sure been makin’ noise in the postseason.

Back in the 2017, 2019, and 2022 playoffs, them Astros beat the Yankees at Minute Maid Park, with a combined record of 8-1 at home. That’s somethin’ to keep in mind, ‘cause home-field advantage sure does count for somethin’ in baseball.
But let’s not forget them Yankees been good on the road too. Even though them Astros got a good record at home, the Yankees been showin’ they ain’t scared to play anywhere. It’s clear that both teams, whether they’re at home or away, got players who can step up to the plate and make things happen.
