#909 ASA PLAY ON Houston Astros +115 over New York Yankees, Thursday at 5:05 PM ET - Houston got hammered last night but should bounce back here.  The Astros have a pitching edge with Ronel Blanco on the mound and facing Marcus Stroman of the Yankees.  Stroman has walked 5 in each of his last two outings!  The Astros are off everyone's radar right now due to a rare rough start to the season but they are still a quality team and Blanco is a high-quality pitcher.  Blanco has allowed only 21 hits in 38.2 innings this season and a 2.09 ERA on the year.  Stroman was fortunate to allow only 1 earned run in his last start as he had to deal with 8 baserunners in only 5 innings.  Prior to that one Stroman allowed 13 earned runs in 19 innings so you can see that Stroman is just not right at the present time!  Houston is on a 4-game skid here but had won 5 of 6 games prior to that. We like them to bounce back here after the 9-4 loss yesterday!  The Yankees have now won 5 straight games but have not won more than 5 in a row since September of 2022!  The Astros avoid the sweep here as Blanco gives them a big edge in this one and Stroman continues to have issues with command of his pitches!  The value is huge here with the road team at an underdog price in this one!  Astros get the call Thursday.
