The Astros hand the ball to Scott Feldman (5-5, 4.05 ERA) who's undefeated over his last five starts and 1-1 with a 2.87 ERA in six starts since returning from the disabled list. This will be quite a challenge for the 32 year old though. The current members of the Yankees have a combined batting average of .290 against him with Stephen Drew going 6-for-13 with a pair of doubles and homers and Jacob Ellsbury going 5-for-16.
The Yanks also have AROD back in the lineup tonight after Joe Girardi gave him the last 2 days off to rest.
The Yankees will counter with Nathan Eovaldi (13-2, 4.24) who is 8-0 with a 3.29 ERA in his last 11 starts. He's an undefeated 5-0 behind a 3.46 ERA over 11 starts at home and limited the Astros batters he has faced to a .228 batting average.
Houston has won just three of its last 15 road games against a right-handed starter and it's 1-7 in Feldman's last eight starts as a road underdog of +110 to +150. In closing only the Dodgers with their .176 batting average is worse than the Astros' .216 mark over the last seven days.
Take the Yankees here to home on Big Monday!
