Astros-Yankees ALCS Game 4 Postponed Due to Inclement Weather

Baseball fans will have to wait an extra day in order to witness Game 4 of the ALCS in the Bronx.

Due to inclement weather in New York, which is so bad it's being described as a "bomb cyclone", Game 4 has been postponed.

ALCS Game 4 has been postponed.

The East Coast is expecting severe rain and intense winds, forcing officials to postpone the game. First pitch was expected to get underway at 8:08 p.m. ET on Wednesday, but that won't be the case anymore.

Pushing the game back could have serious implications in regards to availability of pitchers, as it will provide an additional day of rest to starters. This could alter how both teams approach their pitching gameplans for the remainder of the series.

So they’ll lose a travel day and the Astros and Yankees could end up playing 4 days in a row before heading to the World Series. All this while the Nationals figure out how to stay sharp during a 6-day layoff. https://t.co/utO1tc2SOn

This will also impact the schedule for the remainder of the ALCS, as when the team's head back to Houston for Game 5, they'll be down a travel day, and there will no longer be a day off in between Game 5 and Game 6.

Game 4 of the ALCS has been postponed and will be played at 8:08 on Thursday. Would expect to see a Tanaka-Greinke rematch.
