New York Yankees 
at Houston Astros 
Just one game on the slate today, but I expect more of the same with the Astros coming out on top, especially with how the Guardians were able to get to Luis Severino early. Framber Valdez struck out seven Yankees on June 23rd and comes into tonight on almost a full week of rest which means he probably goes a full six innings. Severino had two starts against the Astros this year going 12 innings with 11 strikeouts, 4 walks, and 5 earned runs. The Astros have won 4 in a row at home against the Yankees and are 21-5 in Valdez's last 26 starts.
