The sliding New York Yankees were walloped by Logan Gilbert and the Seattle Mariners, as they ended the loss with just one hit and three baserunners. That isn’t ideal for a team looking to take on one of the best teams in the AL in the hated Houston Astros.

While the Yankees did manage to have some success against Houston in their homestand in the Bronx, the club is barely above the .500 mark this season, and the Astros could take advantage of that inconsistency to win this series.

The Yankees did take the first two against Seattle, but Gilbert shutting them down has them limping into this series, and the Astros could benefit in what should be a very emotional series for both sides.

With the Yankees looking to put the screws to Jose Altuve and company once more, time to take a look at what this game may entail.

Yankees vs Astros Odds Today

The Astros are favored in this game at -133 (meaning you have to bet $133 to win $100) on the money line. The bookies seem to think that the Astros’ offensive attack will win the day against the beat-up Yankees. The over-under is 9.5

Yankees vs Mariners Pitching Matchup

The Yankees will start Nestor Cortes Jr. (0-0, 1.29) today, as the hybrid starter/relief pitcher has allowed just three runs in 21 innings this year. Will he be able to eat up some innings for New York today?

The Astros will deploy Jake Odorizzi (3-3, 3.70) in this game. The former top prospect and Rays starter is looking to rebound after a poor season in Minnesota last year, and he’s doing a fine job of it.

Yankees Starting Lineup

There had to be some complications, right? Luke Voit’s sitting, though Aaron Boone insists he’s fine after getting hit on the hand Thursday.

Yankees vs Astros Prediction Today

Odorizzi is the furthest thing from Nolan Ryan, but if a Yankees team playing with most of their stars failed to touch up Gilbert yesterday, it’s hard to see them taking it to Houston. This will be a close game, but the Astros might pull this out by a slim 4-3 margin.
