Yankees vs. Astros Prediction
The Yankees haven’t been as profitable in Houston as they have been against the Astros in New York but are the Bronx Bombers a good play on Friday night when they open a new series against their non-division foes at 6:10 p.m. ET?

New York Yankees DFS SPIN
Giancarlo Stanton belted a three-run shot Wednesday in the Yankees’ win over the Athletics. It was a line-drive blast to the opposite field off of Cole Irvin in the third inning. Stanton has now homered in five of his last six contests to bring his total on the season to 19. That’s even with a two-week injured list stint baked in.
Houston Astros DFS SPIN
Yordan Álvarez is currently being evaluated for a concussion after a nasty collision with teammate Jeremy Peña during Wednesday’s game. That’s the only update that manager Dusty Baker was able to provide after the game, noting that the club would provide more information on Thursday. Álvarez took an elbow to the face during the collision and stayed down on the ground for a few minutes before eventually rising to his feet. Astros fans and fantasy managers can only wait and hope for the best.
