Best Bet of the Day
MLB: Houston Astros ML over New York Yankees (+100)
1:35 pm ET, YES
The Yankees will start Carlos Rodon. He has only 5 starts on the season, and he hasn’t been great so far. In particular, control has been an issue, as he has multiple walks in each outing. He has averaged 4 walks per game over his last 3 starts. It is hard to imagine surviving against the Astros like that. The Astros are in their better platoon when facing lefties, and Rodon has been notoriously lopsided in his splits in his career—he is virtually untouchable by lefties, but quite vulnerable to righties. That’s only a problem for two of the Houston bats—Tucker and Alvarez. On the other side, the Astros will likely piggyback J.P. France after Urquidy, and France has been an incredibly effective arm for Houston.
