The Daily Sweat: Astros try to slow down the Yankees, and good luck with that

The Houston Astros are 43-25. They lead the AL West by 10 games. That's an amazing start.

They're still 7.5 games behind the New York Yankees for best record in the American League.

The Astros and Yankees start a series on Thursday. It's a showdown between division leaders, but it's hard to see both teams as equals.

The Yankees are 51-18, an absolutely incredible record as we near the midpoint of the season. The Yankees are -130 favorites over the Astros at BetMGM, and maybe that's not short enough odds.
