NEW YORK -- Historically, the Yankees have been a pretty safe bet on opening day.New York begins its quest for its 28th World Series championship -- and first since 2009 -- when it takes on the Houston Astros in the opener of a four-game series at 4 p.m. on Thursday at Minute Maid Park.The Yankees are 82-40-1 all-time on opening day, including wins in six of their last seven, while the Astros are 33-29.
In addition, the Yankees will likely utilize right-handers Jonathan Loaisiga, Ian Hamilton, Clayton Beeter, Luke Weaver, and Nick Burdi, plus lefties Caleb Ferguson and Victor Gonzalez, in various roles.The relievers will be a work in progress because three key pieces are currently sidelined with injuries -- right-handers Tommy Kahnle, Lou Trivino and Scott Effross.
