New York Yankees vs Houston Astros Prediction
We have two playoff teams and two pitchers in great form. You’d think this was going to be a tight, low scoring game. I’m going with the over. While Warren has allowed eight earned runs in his last 25.1 innings, he has a 5.58 ERA and .280 allowed batting average in 59.2 road innings. Alexander has allowed 22 hits and seven runs in his last 29 innings, but he has a 5.40 ERA and .307 allowed batting average in 25 home innings. We know what these lineups can do, and these home/road splits are nasty. Expect fireworks. Give me the over.
