This is a 1* Free Play on the New York Yankees.
The visiting Houston Astros send Brett Olberholtzer (4-8, 3.87 ERA) to the hill, he's coming off one of his best starts of the season. The southpaw gave up just one run over seven innings in a hard luck loss to the Twins. Still, we know that Oberholtzer is 0-2 with a 4.09 ERA in two career outings against the Yankees heading into his first ever start in the Bronx. Also keep in mind that Oberholtzer is just 1-4 on the road thus far. The Yankees will start Chris Capuano (1-3, 4.13 ERA) who hasn't had a lot of luck with the Pinstripes this season, but who has had success in the past against Houston, going 7-4 with 3.34 ERA in 12 careers outings against the Astros. The Yankees are trying to hang in a wild-card race in which three teams ahead of them are all at least 10 games above .500. Therefore, this homestand represents a good chance to pile up victories against weaker competition. I think they get it done building off the two wins to end the Tampa series previous. The Astros have taken two of three from the Yankees this year but before that NY had won 13 of 15 in the series. I have no problem laying the extra money on the home team in this match-up.
