Houston's Francis Martes has an explosive fastball and above-average curveball. However, he is just a two-pitch pitcher right now. Until he develops a third pitch he will be inconsistent. Yankees starter Jordan Montgomery is likely a future star as well. But Saturday he faces a Houston team that hits lefties well and I see both teams getting their lineups going here.

The Yankees busted out in a big way at Houston on Friday, and I'm looking for both teams to have their way against each starter Saturday. New York pitcher Jordan Montgomery has been strong in six of his last seven starts and his last four have gone Over the total. The Astros have won all three of Francis Martes' starts and all three went Over, with Houston averaging 10 runs scored a game. Over is the play here.

Astros starter Francis Martes’ ERA of 5.51 is unworthy of being favored over a potent Yankees club Saturday. Yet, perhaps no pitcher over the first half of the season has had masked pitching stats as much as the Yankees’ Jordan Montgomery. His plaguing tendencies and a downgraded Yankees bullpen will serve as Saturday's matchup outlier. Back Houston.
