The New York Yankees may have moved three games over .500 for the first time this season, but it’s quite clear they’re in seller mode after dealing Aroldis Chapman to the Chicago Cubs. The Bronx Bombers are set to invade Minute Maid Park on Tuesday for a date with the Houston Astros.
CC Sabathia and Doug Fister are the probable starters for the game. Sabathia’s (5-8, 4.04 ERA) winless drought reached six starts last week against the Orioles. The big lefty has given up five homers during his winless spell after yielding only two in his first 11 outings.
When the Yanks and ‘Stros collide in Texas, the UNDER is red-hot. Ten of the last 11 matchups between the squads in Houston have gone below the total.
