    My hate for the Yankees? That's not it at all... I've never seen such an unathletic pitcher in my life. First time I actually watched CC pitch all year was last night. How the fuk can he even pitch on one leg without tipping over?

    Yankees are wild card..houston was pretty much same as clev to win world series. I think the line represents how good Houston is vs a wild card team. I don't root for teams..but the fact that you had a team go 27 and 1 and lose in first round is bad. Fact is..the regular season is entertainment...thats it..now if the fans who.pay those prices realized it..that would be good.

    Made the most sense. Not sure why the books put a line out with Gray.

    I think Gray should pitch Game one cause no matter who pitches Yankees are losing that game.

    Severino Game 2 and CC Game 3 were etched in stone lining up CC for Game 7. What Yanks did is flip-flop Gray and Tanaka, with latter originally listed for Game 4. So now Tanaka gets 2 starts Game 1-5 and Gray only gets one start.

    Assuming no rotation changes (dangerous assumption I know), I think Yankees have borderline value if you could find +160 or better as I only get Astros around -150.

    Yankees should be favored. They win this in 5 games. Houston highly overated.

    Line as same as it was versus very good tribe team.

    Pinny had +149 on that one. In seven game series Yanks have a clear advantage especially with middle three at home.

    Explain to me why NY should be favored without home field advantage, with worse starting pitching, worse offense, against a team that won 101 games (10 games better than the Yankees).

    You make these claims and you never back them up with anything! Yankees in 5....lol.

    I wouldn't say Yankees should be favored, but edges Astros have in pitching and offense are not that much. Pitching edge is almost negligible.

    Overall team xFIP: Astros 3.77, Yankees 3.82
    Starters xFIP: Astros 3.81, Yankees 3.83
    Relievers xFIP: Astros 3.69. Yankees 3.80

    Offensively, yes the Asros led all of baseball with an amazing wRC+ of 121, but the Yankees were second at 108.

    Bottom line, yes the Astros grade out better but not -175 better.

    they should not be favored but to me starting pitching is dead even, Astros offense is better, and yankees bullpen is better.
