FRIDAY NIGHT MLB MONEYLINE MASSACRE
(MLB) Houston vs. NY Yankees,
Money Line: -160.00 NY Yankees (Home)
Result: Win
The Houston Astros have dropped five in a row following a 10-6 loss here in the Bronx on Thursday. I don't like their chances of ending that skid tonight as they take on a Yankees team that expects to have slugger Aaron Judge back in the lineup for the first time since he suffered an oblique strain April 20.

The Yankees have had little trouble to put runs on the board even without Judge and have scored 49 runs during a six-game winning streak.

Here they'll get a look at Astros right-hander Brad Peacock (6-4, 3.67 ERA) who is 1-2 with a 5.51 ERA in his last three starts and has posted a 6.75 ERA in his previous matchups with the Bronx Bombers. The Yankees hand the ball to left-hander James Paxton (4-3, 3.93 ERA) who is 7-4 with a 3.33 ERA in 13 starts against the Astros.

Yankees are 6-2 in Paxton's last 8 starts. Yankees are 6-1 in the last seven meetings at Yankee Stadium.

8* play on New York Yankees.
