Heavy rains are expected in the Bronx tonight so, weather permitting, the New York Yankees will try to even the score with the Houston Astros at two games apiece. New York will not have to face any of the lethal three (Cole, Verlander or Greinke) as both teams are expected to go with a bullpen game. The Yankees potent offense has been stymied in the last two games but could see the return of Giancarlo Stanton tonight. Despite last night’s loss, New York is still 8-3 in their last 11 games at home against Houston. The Bombers cannot go down 3-1 in this series or it’s over, and they know it.
TONIGHT’S PICK: NEW YORK YANKEES
