Houston are 7-0 SU in their last 7 games.
Houston are 5-0 SU in their last 5 games against NY Yankees.
Houston are 10-2 SU in their last 12 games on the road.
Houston are 7-13 SU in their last 20 games when playing on the road against NY Yankees.

Prediction
The Astros have dominated the Yankees at home but they're 7-13 in the last 20 games playing in New York. Cristian Javier will take the mound for this game who has been pretty solid lately as a starter and hasn't allowed a single run in his last 4 starts and has dominated the Yankees in his career. Gerrit Cole will start for the Yanks who has also been solid this season and domimnated the Astros the last time he faced them. The Astros got a shot of luck with Bregman's home run in Game 2 and they have struggled on the road vs Yankees so I'll take the Yankees to win in Game 3.
