The Astros have eliminated the Yankees in four of the previous eight seasons, and Houston seems to be two steps ahead this season.
As the Yankees dangle outside the playoff picture with the clock ticking, the Astros have stormed back into AL West contention and begun to look like a club capable of winning another title. Houston is riding into a hostile atmosphere with all of the momentum after signing Justin Verlander on Tuesday and getting a no-hitter out of Framber Valdez later that night.
The Yankees will have to wait until the weekend to face Verlander and Valdez, but Aaron Boone’s squad will not have it easy on Friday. Luis Severino will start for New York after a dismal performance in Baltimore. While Severino struggles to establish a rhythm, a healthy Astros lineup might be poised to strike.
For the Astros, rookie Hunter Brown will get the start. While he has struggled over the past two months, Brown is coming off back-to-back starts with just two earned runs allowed and will want to exploit a Yankees offence that has battled to establish itself — even with Aaron Judge back in the lineup.
