What It Means:

The roster will include veteran first baseman/outfielder Matt Holliday, who has yet to get a plate appearance in the postseason. But Holliday will most likely be a late-inning pinch-hitter from the right side of the plate. The Yankees are also carrying six infielders, four other outfielders and two catchers.

According to our algorithms, the Yankees have a 47.23% chance of winning the series. At 15.05%, their most likely outcome is a win in 7 games over the Houston Astros.
