Free MLB Pick
The Yankees hit lefties well but they haven’t hit Astros starter Dallas Keuchel well in his two career starts against them. Neither team is hitting well right now with Houston scoring three or less in nine straight and the Yankees three or less in four of their last five. New York starter Ivan Nova has tailed off after a good start and while he allowed two runs in his only start against the Astros last season he lasted only 5 2/3 innings and gave up six hits and walked five. We put out money on Houston to get back on track tonight.
