We like the edge the Astros have both in the starting pitching matchup, and in the bullpen department. The Astros have won the last 4 games that Framber Valdez has started, and they've won 8 of the last 10 games he started. Valdez is coming off of a gem against the Twins in his last start, and it's worth noting he has only given up more than 3 earned runs in 1 of his 24 starts this season. One other interesting note about Framber Valdez is that he's actually pitched better on the road than he has at home. Behind Valdez, the Astros have the MLB's #1 bullpen. Rangers starter Dane Dunning has been good at home this season, and he pitched pretty well against the Astros in his 2 starts against them. That being said, we still like this price on the road team. The Astros are 11-4 after a day off this season, they had a day off yesterday. Our bet is one unit on the Astros moneyline.

Our edge in this bet lies within the Yankees bullpen, which ranks top 3 in the MLB. The Angels have won 4 straight, and should have both Trout and Ohtani in the lineup tonight. However, their starting pitcher Mike Mayers has mostly pitched in relief this season. He got his first start of the season just last week. The Angels bullpen is average at best, and this bullpen should be responsible for a good chunk of this game. Backing Yankees starter Jameson Taillon has been highly profitable this season. We will roll with a one unit bet on the Yankees to win.
