Yankees-Astros ALCS Game 4 postponed to Thursday

Game 4 of the American League Championship Series between the New York Yankees and Houston Astros has been postponed until Thursday due to inclement weather in the New York area.

What It Means:

The Yankees and Astros were both expected to go with a bullpen committee approach on Wednesday, but now Game 1 starters Zack Greinke and Masahiro Tanaka will be able to toe the rubber in Game 4. Assuming there are clearer skies in New York on Thursday, the game will be played at 8:08 PM ET.

numberFire's models project Greinke for 22.1 FanDuel points in Game 4. Tanaka is pegged for 24.5 FP.
