Yankees Versus The First Place Astros [PREVIEW]

The Yankees are a half game behind the Toronto Blue Jays in the AL East. This after losing three of four to the Cleveland Indians. The Yankees should of beat Cleveland but have a two and seven record this year against the tribe.

Nathan Eovaldi takes the bump tonight against the AL West first place Houston Astros. Eovaldi has had the second best run support in the majors with 7.48 runs per game. Bad news is Mark Teixeira is out of the line up which means the Yankees and Eovaldi are without their top slugger for tonight's game.
