The Houston Astros (2-0) and New York Yankees (0-2) meet Saturday for Game 3 of their best-of-7 American League Championship Series. First pitch at Yankee Stadium is slated for 5:07 p.m. ET (TBS). Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Astros vs. Yankees odds with MLB picks and predictions.
ALCS: Houston leads 2-0. The Astros won the regular-season series 5-2
The Astros won the AL West with an American League-best 106-56 record, and nothing has slowed them down in the postseason. Over a 10-game stretch including playoff and regular-season contests, Houston is 9-1 with a 1.64 ERA and 0.92 WHIP in the month of October.
New York is likely glad to have left Minute Maid Park to continue this series on home turf in the Bronx. The Yankees struck out 30 times over Games 1 and 2, and they have fanned 57 times in 5 total games at Houston in 2022. Dating back to Sept. 10, the AL East champs are 11-3 — with 9.0 strikeouts per contest — over their last 14 games at Yankee Stadium.
