A full 15-game MLB slate is scheduled for Tuesday, one of which will include an American League matchup between the New York Yankees and the Houston Astros. Let’s take a look at the match statistics and predictions for this game between the Yankees and the Astros.

Houston enters this game with a record of 65-66. That said, the Astros are currently tied for first place in the American League West division. Set to start this game for Houston will be Ethan Pecko, who has an ERA of 4.91. Pecko has made just one start this season, which was a rocky one; therefore, suggesting the Yankees’ offense will be able to take advantage.

As for New York, they enter this game with a record of 74-56, but are currently in second place in the American League East division. The Yankees are set to start Will Warren in Game 1 of this series, who has a record of 8-6 and an ERA of 4.43. Warren has been inconsistent this season when pitching at home this season, which could lead to Houston’s offense having success against him early in this game.

New York Yankees - Houston Astros Key Points

  1. Ethan Pecko has an ERA of 4.91 this season

Our New York Yankees vs Houston Astros Prediction

The Yankees are the clear favorite in this game; however, the over looks to be the best betting option. This goes directly to the inexperience of Pecko (Houston) and the inconsistency of Warren (New York). For instance, Warren has made 12 home appearances (11 starts), in which he has allowed 37 runs (28 earned) over 57.1 innings. Pecko, on the other hand, only pitched 3.2 innings in his lone start, allowing two earned runs. 

While there is only a limited sample size for Pecko, both offenses have had their fair share of success this season. For that reason, our New York Yankees vs Houston Astros prediction is: Over 9 Total Runs.
