The Astros are coming into this game with a 43-26 record overall and they are 23-15 in their road games this season where they will be in this game. They have won 3 of their last 4 games but are coming into this one off of a loss in their last game which snapped a 3 game winning streak that they were on. They just won their 2-game series against the New York Mets 2-0 completing the sweep and they are playing the 3rd game of a 4-game series with the Yankees on Saturday. This will be the 3rd game of the series on Saturday with the 2nd game still to be played on Friday. Justin Verlander is the starting pitcher for them on Friday while Cristian Javier will be on the mound for them here on Saturday. He is 4-3 with a 3.07 ERA this season. His team lost 2 of their last 3 games this season with him starting. In his last start, he allowed 1 ER, 0 HRs, and 4 BB with 5 Ks on 2 hits in 5 IP against the Chicago White Sox. They scored 13 runs in their last series averaging 6.5 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 5 runs against them averaging 2.5 runs allowed per game.

 

The Yankees are coming into this game with a 52-18 record overall and they are 30-7 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They have won 3 of their last 4 games and are coming into this one on a 2 game winning streak. They just won their 3-game series against the Tampa Bay Rays 2-1 and they are playing the 3rd game of a 4-game series with the Astros on Saturday. This will be the 3rd game of the series on Saturday with the 2nd game still to be played on Friday. Luis Severino is the starting pitcher for them on Friday while Gerrit Cole will be on the mound for them here on Saturday. He is 6-1 with a 3.14 ERA this season. His team won their last 4 straight games this season with him as a starter. In his last start, he allowed 1 earned run, 0 homers, and 3 BB with 12 strikeouts on 1 hit in 7.1 innings played against the Tampa Bay Rays. They scored 13 runs in their last series averaging just over 4 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 11 runs against them averaging just under 4 runs allowed per game.

 

The Yankees are coming into this game as a slight favorite with the current betting odds. They currently have the best record in the MLB and they already won the series opener over the Astros here. They were down 6-3 in that game for almost 6 innings before hitting a 3-run homerun in the 9th to tie the game 6-6 and then win it in that same inning with a walk-off base hit by Aaron Judge. That continued a 15 game winning streak at home for the Yankees this season and they have been a team that makes money all season just blindly betting on them. Cole is pitching against his old team here and that should light a fire under him to bring his best performance here. Javier is starting for the Astros and he has also been good this season but the pitching does not even matter too much after that series opener. The Yankees are a bet on team until they show signs of slowing down and they have shown nothing recently. The best bet here is on the Yankees to win this game at home.
