New York at Houston

Premium Pick

The New York Yankees refuse to quit. They were in the one-and-done Wild Card round, and watched their ace Luis Severino knocked out after recording just one out. They were down 2-0 to Cleveland in the ALDS, then won three straight, including the clincher in Cleveland. They were down 2-0 in this series, and have rallied for three straight wins. This has been a pitcher's series so far, but the Yankees' bats are waking up while Houston's bats have been put to sleep by Yankees starters and relievers. New York took down Keuchel, and now Justin Verlander will take the mound for the Astros to try to get it to a Game 7. Verlander threw 124 pitches last game, and his career ERA after throwing 120+ pitches is 4.55. I do not expect him to be as sharp, and the big weakness for Houston has been the bullpen. Take the Yankees.
