Yankees vs Astros Betting Pick
This game will be played at Minute Maid Park at 6:10 PM ET on Thursday, June 30, 2022.
Why Bet The Astros:
✅ Luis Severino is 4-2 with a solid 3.38 ERA and 1.07 WHIP in 13 starts (72 innings pitched) in 2022, but the 28-year-old righty hasn’t been sharp over the last few weeks. Severino was charged for a loss in a 3-1 defeat to the Astros this past Friday, allowing three earned runs on five hits and a couple of walks across six frames of work. Luis has surrendered 13 runs over his previous five starts (30.1 IP).
✅ Luis Garcia will search for his third straight win, carrying a 5-5 record, 3.68 ERA, and 1.07 WHIP across 13 starts and 71 innings of work in 2022. The current Yankees have only three hits in 23 at-bats against Garcia.

✅ The Astros have recorded the highest OPS in the majors in the last couple of weeks (.817). They’ve clobbered a whopping 24 home runs in their previous 12 games overall, while Alex Bregman is slashing .368/.510/.632 with three homers over his last 38 at-bats.
New York Yankees
Wednesday’s games have been excluded from the analysis, and the 55-20 Yankees were looking to sweep a three-game home series against the lowly Oakland Athletics. New York boasted the best record in the majors, topping the AL East 12 and a half games ahead of their closest rivals.
The Yankees have gone 10-4 in their previous 14 games overall. They’ve slashed .200/.305/.422 with 27 home runs across 446 at-bats, while the Yankees’ pitching staff has compiled a 3.63 ERA, 1.13 WHIP, and .205 opposing batting average. New York’s bullpen has a 2.67 ERA and 4.75 FIP in its last 30.1 frames of work.
Houston Astros
The 46-27 Astros met the New York Mets on Wednesday, looking for their fourth victory in five games. After splitting a four-game set against the Yankees, the Astros trounced the Mets 9-1 at Citi Field in New York on Tuesday night.
Houston has registered the second-lowest ERA in baseball over the last two weeks (2.75) to go with a 1.05 WHIP and .193 opposing batting average. The Astros’ bullpen has an underwhelming 5.06 ERA and 5.34 FIP in its last 21.1 innings of work.
