We cashed a best bet on the Astros money line last night and correctly predicted the total, so let's piece it all together for an SGP tonight. Houston came into this series as the favorite, and they did not disappoint in Game 1. It wasn't a blowout necessarily, but they've now won 6 of their 8 meetings with the Yankees this season. New York was even riding the high of their Game 5 win over the Cleveland Guardians, but a rested Astros team proved to be too much. With the Yanks now having settled down a bit, let's see if that's enough for them to pull off an upset i n Game 2.

Let's take a closer look at each leg of our same game parlay.
Houston Astros ML (-160) over New York Yankees
It may not be flashy and it may not be the exciting pick, but there is no reason to doubt the Astros at this point. The series remains in Houston for Game 2, where the Astros are 3-0 in the postseason and went 55-26 in the regular season. It's also where they swept the Yankees earlier this season, and they'll have Framber Valdez on the mound tonight. If New Yorkers were relieved that ace Justin Verlander wouldn't be pitching again, Valdez is not much of a drop-off.
