Houston got the win in the freezing opener, but the Astros are still a long way from home and are 21-43 in their last 64 road games. Houston starter Collin McHugh was strong at home last season, but had a 4.05 ERA on the road. Houston is 18-38 away against a team with a home winning percentage of less than .400. The Astros are also 5-13 after scoring five runs or more in their previous game. The Yankees have plenty of talent on offense and have big righty Michael Pineda on the hill. He's an excellent strikeout pitcher, which will be a plus in the cold weather. The Yankees are 37-16 at home against a team with a road winning percentage of greater than .600, so jump on the home team in bounce-back mode. Take the NY Yankees.
