Houston Astros vs New York Yankees: Odds, Tips and Predictions 5/09/24

Baseball Betting Tips · - ·

Publish Date: 05/09/2024
Fact checked by: Mark Lewis

Houston appeared to be making strides back from their slow start, yet they dropped their last four matches, including both games in this series. Houston must secure at least one victory against New York or face being swept and falling deeper into despair.

On the other side, the New York Yankees currently stand at 25-13 and share leadership of the AL East with Boston. Coming into this matchup riding an impressive five-game win streak, their success can only increase.

Astros vs Yankees

  • Run Line: Yankees -1.5
  • Moneyline Astros +116
  • Moneyline Yankees -138
  • Over/Under 8.5

These odds were updated at 6 am EST on 05/05/24, coming from Draft Kings.

Our Best Pick: Astros to Win

These teams have taken very different paths in the first half of this season. Houston has struggled mightily, yet must find ways to turn things around before things further spiral for Joe Espada and Co. With Blanco pitching well for them so far this season and Stroman having gone 2-1 with a 3.41 ERA but giving up an average of 4.9 walks per nine innings with an FIP ERA that exceeds his actual mark, this one tilts heavily toward Blanco and the Astros. The Yankees offense can offset some issues, but in this matchup, Blanco has an edge compared with Stroman, who can compensate with his superior pitching.

Astros vs Yankees Moneyline

The Astros are a great money-line bet, and they have a starting pitching advantage. The Astros have struggled this season, but the Yankees bats have been cool as of late and I see a low-scoring Astros win.

Astros vs Yankees Over/Under Analysis

The Over/Under in this game is 8.5. This is tricky over/under, but I would lean towards the under as the starting pitchers should both keep this game under control. Neither team is hitting the ball great at the present time and I see a low-scoring game.

Astros vs Yankees Head-to-Head

The Yankees have won both games of this series and are rolling, while the Astros have struggled so far this season. Yankee pitching has dominated the Astros so far in this series.

Conclusion

The Yankees are clearly the better team, but the Astros have a starting pitching edge and with both teams struggling at the plate this seems to be one of those days where we get an upset. Astros 4, Yankees 3.
