[sc:MLB240banner ]The Astros and the Yankees both had spent lots of time atop their respective divisions back in the regular season. But here they are pitted against each other in a do-or-die Wild Card game. Houston, which is 3-1 in its last four games against the Yankees, will give the ball to ace Dallas Keuchel (20-8, 2.48 ERA). Keuchel pitched well heading into the postseason, as he finished the regular season with a 3-0 record and a 1.83 ERA in his last three starts. The Yankees, on the other hand, will send Masahiro Tanaka (12-7, 3.51 ERA) to the mound. Tanaka has been shaky of late, giving up six earned runs across 11 innings in his last two starts. Tanaka went 7-4 with a 3.71 ERA in 14 home starts back in the regular season.

Canada is no longer in the running to become the 2015 Rugby World Cup winner, but the Canucks will still be playing for keeps when it goes up against Romania. Canada, which lost to France on Thursday, 41-18, is avoiding a winless campaign after losing its first three assignments. That’s the same motivation of Romania, which has lost its first two games of the tournament. In their previous outing, the Oaks suffered a 44-10 defeat at the hands of Ireland on September 27. Romania is 3-0 in its last three meetings with Canada.
Writer’s Prediction
Canada wins, 35-29.
