Yankees vs. Astros prediction: ALCS Game 2 odds, pick, preview

The Yankees lost Game 1 4-2. The betting market has shortened the Yankees' odds for Thursday night's Game 2.

Valdez set an MLB record with 25 consecutive quality starts to close out the 2022 regular season. Valdez's 66.5% ground ball rate led the majors. Luis Severino has a higher ERA but similar expected numbers. Severin's game is different but he matches up better with Houston than Valdes does against the Pinstripes.

Yankees are the underdogs in Game 2 of the World Series against the Houston Astros. The game is closer to a coin flip than the odds imply. The Action Network MLB Model projects the Yankees as a +118 underdog. They've already taken money and moved to +125.

Yesterday stung really badly. The Marlins… whatever. That was simply the wrong side. I can live with that. The Royals. It's 2-2 in the bottom of the ninth, and Luis Urias seemingly can't check his swing. It's called a ball, and then Pablo Reyes walks it off with a grand slam, and the Royals lose 6-2. The A's took a 3-0 lead against the Rangers,…

How about the Rangers? I thought they had a solid chance of winning, but there is no way I thought they would win 13-5. It shows how hungry the Rangers are; no matter the circumstance, they shouldn't be+160 against anybody. Sticking with the underdog theme has served us well over the past week. I have two of my favorites today. However, it's with…
