The New York Yankees look for a series sweep when they visit Daikin Park and the Houston Astros.
The New York bats are booming, and my Yankees vs. Astros predictions and MLB picks expect the Yankees to pull off a convincing victory.
Who will win Yankees vs Astros today: Yankees -1.5 (+120)
Luis Gil doesn't need to be lights out today. He just needs to hold off the Houston Astros long enough for his New York Yankees lineup to do what it's been doing all season.
Ben Rice is barreling at 21.6%, and Aaron Judge at 24.6%, the Yankees are second in the sport with 39 home runs, and they've beaten up on the Astros six of the last ten times out.
Gil has stymied this Astros lineup in the past, and Houston's bullpen ranks dead last with a 5.94 ERA and 1.85 home runs per nine frames. Let the Yankees prevail!
COVERS INTEL: Spencer Arrighetti has a low ERA, but his xFIP is nearly three runs higher with a 5.08 xERA this season. 
Yankees vs Astros Over/Under pick: Over 9.5 (-110)
Spencer Arrighetti has a high hard-hit rate, with an xERA of 5.04 and a walk rate over 15% through two starts.
Gil isn't far behind, with an xERA of 5.20, suggesting the Astros and their fourth-best 119 wRC+ will likely chase him after plating some runs.
Both starters are due for regression, and totals set at 9.5 have a way of finding the Over when the bill comes due.
The Over is 7-2-1 across the past 10 H2H meetings, and yesterday's 8-3 final shows this matchup still has teeth. Trust the trend.
