What is this unfamiliar feeling? The New York Yankees are coming off a…win? In…Houston? That city where everybody screams about unsealing a letter that doesn’t matter all day? Weird.

The Bombers rode a few timely hits and some sharp pitching from Nestor Cortes Jr., Chad Green and Jonathan Loaisiga to a tidy 4-0 victory in the opener of this series, and just two games now separate them from the All-Star break.

A strong close in their most villainous road city would be huge, but it’ll take some serious effort to lock things down again.

The Bombers will face two of the best pitchers in baseball over the next two days, though they’ll at least have the benefit of facing the Astros without Carlos Correa and (most likely) Alex Bregman.

What Time is the Yankees Game Today?

The Yankees will take on the Astros at 7:15 PM on Saturday, July 10 at the dreaded Minute Maid Park.

What Channel is the Yankees Game on Today?

This game will air nationally on FOX, where both Houston and New York fans can come together to hate the national broadcast.

Yankees vs Astros Odds Today

The odds here are not entirely in your favor. On the money line, the Astros are -105 (bet $105 to win $100), and the Yankees are -116 (bet $116 to win $100), checking in as inexplicable slight favorites. The Astros are, however, -165 against the spread (1.5), while the Yankees are +140. The over/under sits at a manageable 8.5.

Yankees vs Astros Pitching Matchup

Did somebody say revenge? Gerrit Cole (8-4, 2.91) starts against the Astros for the first time since he left the team wearing a Boras Corp hat after the 2019 postseason. On the bump for the home team is Zack Greinke (8-2, 3.64 ERA), in the midst of another sterling season in a Hall of Fame career.

Yankees Starting Lineup

Watch this space! But maybe let’s just run back the same lineup from yesterday? That worked.

Yankees vs Astros Prediction Today

Are things really going to go well for the 2021 Yankees two days in a row? This is the most hostile place imaginable for Cole to be battling back spider tack nonsense. If he can put up even a solid line, we’ll be proud, but this feels like a 5-2 loss.
