The Astros will complete a nine-game run against the New York teams tonight with a single makeup game against the Yankees. This game is technically the first of three that were skipped at the beginning of the season thanks to the lockout. The other two will be played as a doubleheader a couple of days after the All Star Game next month.
As for the preview of this particular game, though, there’s not a whole lot to add beyond what the excellent bilbos wrote the last time the Yankees faced the Astros just last week. The only addendum to add is that New York comes into this game riding a four-game win streak after sweeping the A’s in the Bronx while Houston across the bridge was in Queens.
