Play: Money Line: -109 New York Yankees
The Houston Astros take the field Friday at Yankee Stadium versus the New York Yankees. In the latest game for the Houston Astros, they ended up with a loss facing the Miami Marlins, 6-4. The New York Yankees have been in a funk and are 1-5 in their last 6 games. The big right-hander Cam Schlittler will take the hill for the New York Yankees. He has been bad this season with a 1-2 record and 4.58 ERA over 4 appearances. I do like Schlittler's stuff but he hasn't figured it out completely yet. Set to start for the Houston Astros is right-hander Hunter Brown. He has been pitching at an ace level this season for the Astros with a 9-5 record on the year with a minimal 2.47 ERA. Hunter Brown has been notable in his career when going against the New York Yankees, putting up a 3.25 ERA with a 1-1 record in 3 starts. Anthony Volpe, Trent Grisham, Aaron Judge, Jasson Dominguez, Austin Wells have combined to go 6 for 22 when taking on Hunter Brown. The Houston Astros are 32-19 when playing a team with a winning record this season. Yankees bats have gone ice cold lately with just 1.2 runs in their last 5 games. Facing a pitcher like Hunter Brown isn't going to help matters.
