Yankees vs. Astros: Why it’s smart to take Over in Game 1

The Houston Astros and New York Yankees will be squaring off in the ultimate battle of a tremendous lineup against perhaps the best trio of starters in all of baseball.

The Yankees finally have their full lineup healthy with the likes of Giancarlo Stanton and Edwin Encarnacion in the starting lineup and the team had a combined 23 runs in their series against the Minnesota Twins. The lineup the Yankees used in the ALDS was the same one for three straight games for the first time all season as they had to use 155 starting lineups during the 162 games of the regular season.
