  • Houston Astros won 4-3 when the two teams last met in May 2024

Houston Astros Form

Houston head to New York having made an underwhelming start to this nine-game road trip.

The Astros went out on the road on the back of a decent home series with Washington that saw them win the final two meetings, 7-4 and 9-1.

They failed to build on those victories in Boston though, as they were swept by the Red Sox thanks to 2-1, 7-3 and 6-1 defeats.

Houston rallied in Miami though, as they took the first two meetings with the Marlines, 8-2 and 7-3.

However, the Astros were unable to complete the series sweep and suffered their fourth defeat of this trip as they were beaten 6-4 in the series finale.

New York Yankees Form

New York return home on the back of a much-needed victory that snapped a five-game losing skid.

The Yankees went into a recent six-game road trip on the back of a successful series that saw them sweep Tampa Bay with 7-5, 5-4 and 7-4 wins.

They failed to build on that victory on their travels though, as they lost five times during their time away from Yankee Stadium.

New York first headed to Miami, where they swept by the Marlins thanks to 13-12, 2-0 and 7-3 defeats.

The Yankees then moved on to Texas where they suffered 8-5 and 2-0 defeats at the hands of the Rangers, but they did at least wrap up that trip on a positive note with a 3-2 victory.

Verdict

Houston have a major advantage when it comes to starting pitchers in tonight’s matchup.

Hunter Brown just shut down Boston to continue his fine form, so we are backing the Astros to take the series opener.
