Astros vs Yankees Prediction
The Yankees are the safer option given that Rodon has a larger sample size and has been a top-20 pitcher this season with a 3.18 ERA and 1.08 WHIP. However, Rodon does see his numbers jump on the road to a 3.47 ERA and .225 allowed batting average. Despite just 16 innings, Javier looks strong, allowing 9 hits and 6 earned runs while averaging a strikeout per frame. In 14 home innings, Javier has a 1.93 ERA and .130 allowed batting average. At home, I’m rolling with the Astros.
