MLB Odds: Astros Head to New York to Face Yankees
The New York Yankees won three of four in their first series with the Houston Astros this season. However, the Astros still have the upper hand after their win in the playoffs last season. The two teams meet on Tuesday at 7:05 PM ET.
The Astros will give the ball to Charlie Morton, who is tied for the American League lead in wins with seven. The Yankees will counter with CC Sabathia, who has been up and down this season. This will also be a clash of two of the best offenses in the American League. As of Sunday, the Yankees led the AL in runs scored; the Astros were third.
