New York's bats have gone silent in the ALCS as the Yankees have lost the first two games by 2-1 scores while Jose Altuve continues to terrorize the opposition with a .565 batting average this postseason. Altuve raced home with the winning run on Carlos Correa's double in the ninth inning in Game 2 to give the Astros a commanding 2-0 lead in the series. Charlie Morton goes for the Astros on Monday, and he has enjoyed a 14-7 record with a 3.62 ERA this season. The right-hander pitched 4 1/3 innings and gave up two runs in Houston's 5-4 win over Boston in the ALCS. Morton finished the regular season with 4-1 record and a 2.54 ERA in the month of September. CC Sabathia has been shaky in the playoffs allowing six runs on eight hits in 9 2/3 innings in two starts against Cleveland. This will be his first appearance against Houston this year. Houston has won eight of its last 10 road contests and six of Morton's last eight road starts. Also, the Astros have won the last four meetings overall and seven of 10 at Yankee Stadium. Play the Astros.
