The Post experts make their prediction on the Yankees-Astros ALCS series:
Jon Heyman
Justice denied. The Yankees are strong in most spots, but the Astros seem just a touch stronger. Astros in 7
Greg Joyce
The Astros’ well-rested and powerful starting rotation — plus the Yankees’ nightly high-wire bullpen act — could be the difference. Astros in 7
Dan Martin
The team that ended the Yankees’ chances in the ALCS in 2017 and 2019 will do so again, as the Yankees spent a lot of energy getting by Cleveland and haven’t fared well against Astros pitching — which will be well set up, since they haven’t played since clinching their ALDS win over the Mariners on Saturday. Astros in 6
Ian O’Connor
The Astros are the better team, but what the hell, a lot of “better” teams have fallen this October, and at some point the Yankees are going to kick down Houston’s door. Yankees in 7

The Astros are rested, have their rotation aligned and own home-field advantage. They have plenty of advantages, including a staff that will hold down the Yankees’ bats. Astros in 6
Joel Sherman
Houston has a pitching-depth advantage even before considering more rest and if the ALCS goes the distance the Yankees would have to play eight games in nine days without trust in the back of their staff. Astros In 6
Mike Vaccaro
The Yankees are not intimidated or afraid. But they will have to win a Game 7 at Minute Maid Park and that’ll be too tall an order. Astros in 7
