New York Yankees vs Houston Astros Prediction
The Astros remain in the automatic fade boat, as this team just has no arms and the pitching is getting worse by the day. Arrighetti may be the only guy who has looked like an MLB pitcher, but he has just 11 innings under his belt. Give him a week or so and the stink will rub off on him as well. Not to mention the Yankees are piling up the wins at an insane rate and the offense is looking more and more like a Yankees offense. There’s only one way to go here and it’s not stepping in front of the Yankees. Give me the Yankees and the PL for max betting value.
