Astros vs. Yankees prediction: Take the underdog Bombers

My apologies to Mayor Eric Adams, the NYPD and the city of New York.

Stitches’ baseball betting seminar and autograph signing at Union Square attracted a few more fans than last year. … There were more people in Union Square on Friday than there were at the Athletics’ last homestand.

Well, well.

Look who’s back in town.

Justin Verlander pitches in New York wearing familiar Astros orange.

Verlander may go into the Hall of Fame as a Met after winning his last three starts, allowing two runs over those 19 innings.

Houston is at Yankee Stadium on Saturday, where Nestor Cortes will make his first start since May 30.

That’s two-plus months, so Nestor may not be as nasty after the extended rehab.

Nevertheless, we will back the home dog Yanks for $50.

Another winnable game gone bad.

Reds were up, 3-0, but lost, 6-3, to the Nats.

This after telling all the fans in Union Square they were a lock.
