The Houston Astros look to continue their winning ways, as they seek their third consecutive win over the New York Yankees on Saturday at Yankee Stadium.
The Astros still own the best record in the AL West at 65-51, though they are just 1.5 games ahead of their closest trailers, the 64-53 Seattle Mariners. Houston has remained one of the best pitching teams in baseball this season with a 3.70 ERA and 1.19 WHIP. Over the last five games, the Astros have maintained these strong numbers, which have helped them secure both outright and ATS wins against the Marlins (2x) and the Yankees this week alone.
The Yankees have gone 1-4 in their last five games, dropping them to 61-55 record. After spending the majority of the first half atop the AL East, New York is now only third in their division, trailing their archrivals, the Boston Celtics (64-52), by three games and the Toronto Blue Jays (68-48) by seven games. Having been plagued by poor pitching all season long, the Yankees are also experiencing a dramatic drop in production from their offense recently. New York, who is averaging almost 6.0 runs per game during the first half of the season, is scoring 2.2 runs per game in their last five games, which are surprising metrics from a team loaded with big bats.

Our Houston Astros vs New York Yankees Prediction
Fearless Forecast: the Astros keep on winning over the Yankees.
The Astros have the opportunity to add more misery to the struggling Yankees on Saturday. They will send Framber Vasquez to the mound, hoping he can regain his top form after allowing five earned runs over six innings in a 1-6 loss to the Red Sox. Vasquez (3-2 with a 3.19 ERA in his last 5) will match up against the Yankees’ Luis Gil, who has surrendered 9 earned runs in his last two starts and carries an 8.46 ERA in his last five mound appearances.
The Yankees, a team that features top-caliber hitters like Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton, Paul Goldschmidt, and Cody Bellinger, are averaging 2.2 runs per game in their last five. Their recent batting woes, combined with lethargic pitching all season long, have put New York in a tough position against teams that deal heavy damage on both ends, such as the Astros, who rank No.2 in batting average (.258) and top-5 numbers in ERA (3.72) and BAA (.230).
Our betting prediction for the New York Yankees vs. the Houston Astros: the Astros -1.5 Runs.
