From August 2 to August 14, the Yankees will face three consecutive division leaders: the Astros, Tigers, and Blue Jays, as they fight for the first Wild Card or even the division lead. Finally, they will face the Red Sox from August 12 to 14 at Fenway Park. This span of games will reveal what these Yankees are made of.
For now, they looked good in the first game of the series in Houston, winning 7-1, but the combative Astros took Wednesday's game 8-7 in a spectacular playoff-worthy game.
The Yankees started as -150 favorites with Warren on the mound; they took it with solo home runs by Stanton and Wells. By the middle of the game, Boone removed Warren from decent work and used the best of his bullpen to maintain the lead; all failed to do so. Fernando Cruz allowed one run, Weaver allowed one, and Williams allowed four ERs because Doval couldn't prevent all the baserunners inherited from Williams from scoring.
The Yankees trailed by 4 in the top of the ninth, and Bellinger hit a run-scoring home run with Judge and McMahon on board, but it was not enough, as Chisholm struck out the final out in the 8-7 Astros game.

Our New York Yankees vs Houston Astros Prediction
The Astros and Yankees both have 77 wins this year, but as far as betting goes, their seasons have been very different. Bookmakers expected less from the Astros, who have produced profits above $700 if a bettor had consistently bet $100 on the Astros' MLB, but the Yankees have generated losses.
Without a doubt, this Astros team has virtually the same core they had in their years of excellence and championships. The star of Wednesday night was Yordan Álvarez, who went 4-for-5 as the second pitcher in the lineup.
The pitching duel scheduled for Friday features Rodón and Javier.
Our prediction for Astros vs Yankees is: Astros +1.5.
