New York Yankees at Houston Astros Betting Preview

img/news/baseball.jpg

The Yankees are playing on a short schedule and had to travel overnight.

After earning a huge win over the Cleveland Guardians to advance to the next round, the New York Yankees aren’t getting a moment of rest.

Traveling from New York to Houston overnight, the Yankees will face the Houston Astros to start the ALCS series.

This is Game 1, so it’s important to get a fast start. However, fatigue is likely to set in for the Yankees who are coming off a long series and extra travel.

Getting the start for the Yankees on the mound tonight is Jameson Taillon, who posted a 14-5 record during the regular season with an ERA of 3.91.

Although Taillon is good, he’s not quite the same caliber as who is taking the mound for the Astros tonight. Justin Verlander will make the start for Houston in Game 1 of this series.

Verlander had the second-best record in Major League Baseball during the regular season (18-4). He finished the year with the best ERA among pitchers at 1.75.

With Verlander on the mound, the Astros are the clear favorites to win this game. Pair that with the fact that this team has an overall batting average of .248 and you can see why.

They’re also playing at home tonight, giving them an extra advantage. During the regular season, the Houston Astros went 55-26 when playing at home.

On the road, the Yankees have a record of 42-39, although it’s over .500, it’s not quite as good as the Astros’ record at home.

For us, it’s the quick turnaround that will cause the Yankees to lose this game. We’ll go with the Houston Astros at home -195.

Ricky’s Pick: Houston Astros -195, UNDER
