Houston at New York

The Houston Astros are right on the heels of the Texas Rangers in the AL West. They trail the Rangers by just half of a game. Houston made a big splash at the trade deadline as they acquired Justin Verlander from the Mets. The Yankees surprisingly made no moves to improve the team at the deadline. They are stuck with a lot of aging and bad contracts. The Yankees have had issues getting past Houston in the regular season, and post-season as well. Houston comes in riding a seven game-winning streak vs the Yankees. The Yankees offense is one of the worst in the league and over the last five meetings in New York the Astros have won four of them and two of those four wins were by shutout. Make the play on Houston.
