Yankees vs. Astros Prediction
Luis Severino takes the mound for New York against the Astros Hunter Brown tonight. Following New York’s win Friday night forces an Astros response in order to stay close to the top of the AL West. With the Astros listed as massive home favorites and the total sitting at 9 runs, what’s the best bet tonight in Houston?

Yankees vs. Astros MLB BETTING PREDICTION
In Servino’s last start against the Astros this season the Yankees lost 7-2. All years the Yankees have struggled with consistency when Gerrit Cole is not pitching. Even with the win last night I am inclined to bet against New York and put money on Houston outright. Houston has an experienced lineup, incentive to win, and six players with at least 300 at bats hitting over .270. Pin that against a disappointing Yankees season I will make that bet every time.
MLB BETTING PREDICTION: HOUSTON ASTROS -198
