(961) New York Yankees at (962) Houston Astros
7:40pm EDT - Sep 4/2025

THE PLAY: Houston Astros +1.5 (-133) C Rodon (LHP), C Javier (RHP) Must Start

Houston starter Cristian Javier projects to give up 2.5 runs with a 3.90 ERA and 1.29 WHIP.  New York’s lineup has hit just .175 (10-57) with a weak .675 OPS against Javier in his career.  The Yankees will start Carlos Rodon.  The lefty projects to give up 2.4 earned runs with a 3.85 ERA and 1.23 WHIP.  With the starting pitching projections almost identical, look for the Astros to keep this game close on Thursday night.

Play ASTROS (+1.5 runline).
