The Yankees own the No. 1 offense against left-handed pitchers now with Gary Sanchez, Giancarlo Stanton, Aaron Judge and Edwin Encarnacion in the lineup. Astros lefty Wade Miley has a 4.78 ERA over his last five away starts, covering 26.1 innings, which is 20 cents below average. The Yankees' Masahiro Tanaka is coming off the game of his life, a two-hit, complete game shutout over Tampa Bay. However, it was also the most pitches (111) he has thrown this season. Look for a regression from Tanaka.
Road trips gone awry typically are not long-lasting for high-profiled winning teams. Yet the Astros are in the midst of a peculiar six-game losing streak. Fueled by the addition of Edwin Encarnacion, the Yankees have won seven-straight games. With both Giancarlo Stanton and Aaron Judge back in New York's lineup, the undermanned Astros appear to be destined for another loss. Yet look for veteran starter Wade Miley to keep the Astros in it, and for the underdog Astros to cash.
