Justin Verlander has been essentially unhittable and he is 8-0 over his last series of starts with under a 2 ERA.
The Yankees have been great at home all season and under .500 on the road. The Houston weather is also warmer and I think the Astros bats will wake up a bit.

This is the main reason why the veteran Verlander was brought to Houston and he is a workhorse and will throw as many pitches as needed.

It's hard for us to believe that this team will lay over and lose 4 straight with their ace on the mound back. I'm backing the Houston Astros here at home on Friday night.
