âšľ Pitching Matchup
Yankees: RHP Will Warren (2–0, 2.49 ERA)
- Has not allowed more than two earned runs in any start this season.
- Coming off an 11‑strikeout performance vs. Kansas City.
- Provides New York a clear early‑game advantage if he maintains command.
Astros: RHP Lance McCullers Jr. (1–1, 6.20 ERA)
- Has struggled recently, allowing 13 runs on 15 hits in his last 13.1 innings.
- Needs a bounce‑back outing to keep Houston competitive early.
🔥 Team Form & Key Players
Yankees
- 8–2 in their last 10, outscoring opponents by 23 runs.
- Ben Rice (.316 AVG, 9 HR, 20 RBI) continues to be a major spark around Judge.
- Jose Caballero is hitting .371 over his last 10 games.
Astros
- 4–6 in their last 10, with a 5.10 team ERA.
- Yordan Alvarez remains the biggest threat (11 HR, .776 SLG).
- Christian Walker has been productive recently (2 HR, 5 RBI in last 10).
🏥 Injury Impact
Houston’s injury list is massive — over a dozen players, including Jeremy Peña, Cristian Javier, Josh Hader, Ronel Blanco, and more. This has forced depth players into major roles and weakened both the rotation and bullpen.
New York is missing Gerrit Cole, Carlos RodĂłn, Clarke Schmidt, and Anthony Volpe, but their lineup and bullpen have held up far better.
đź“Š Betting & Analytical Notes
- Yankees favored: -157
- Astros underdogs: +132
- Over/Under: 9 runs
Prediction:
- While Mike Burrows hasn’t been lighting it up for Houston with a 6.9 ERA, he still has been ok from a FIP perspective at 4.00
- Will Warren has been more than solid this year at a 2.78 FIP, but looking at the last few years, he has been sub 4 in that area, so I have to wonder if weather played a part of this.
- Houston is in a good spot as the Yankees creamed them 12-4 last night.
- The good news for the Astros is that they are number 4 in FIP to the Yankees at number 5.
- Houston’s bullpen should be ok today as De Los Santos, Abreu, and Blubaugh has recieved some rest.  I think that the price is wrong here, and I could see a bounceback for the Stros.
Astros +133 – 1 star
