It seems like the Yankees have a bad habit so far in 2015 of beating up on good pitchers and good teams while dropping winnable games to bad teams. They lost a series to the Philadelphia Phillies this week, but managed to torch ace Cole Hamels instead of winning the game started by one Sean O'Sullivan. You can predict baseball, we have been told.
A good team awaits the Yankees in Houston tonight, perhaps much to the surprise of many. The Astros have been leading the AL West basically all season, and their 42 wins are the second highest in all of MLB.
