Stephen Nover's MLB Thursday Top Ticket
(MLB) NY Yankees vs. Houston,
Money Line: -118.00 NY Yankees (Away)
Result: Loss
Money Line: -118.00 NY Yankees (Away)
Result: Loss
The Astros are good. The Yankees are great. How great? The Yankees have matched the best 76-game start in the last 92 years. New York is seeking its 17th win in the last 21 games here.
It is rare to lay such a low price with the Yankees.
I like the pitching matchup for New York with Luis Severino versus Luis Garcia. Houston also is likely to be minus shortstop Jeremy Pena and Yordan Alvarez, their leading power-hitter. Both were injured in a collision on Wednesday. Alvarez leads the Astros in homers and RBI's.
Severino is 4-2 with a 3.38 ERA. That ERA gets reduced to 3.13 if you count just his last six starts.
Garcia is 5-5 with a 3.68 ERA. He is more of a middle-to-bottom end rotation starter while Severino is talented enough to be a No. 1 or No. 2 starter especially if he were with a lesser team.
