Schule's MLB *TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE* - HOU@NYY
(MLB) Houston vs. NY Yankees, 04/05/2016 9:05 AM, Score: 5 - 3
Total: 7.00 | 100.00 Over
Result: Loss
This is a 10* play on HOU@NYY to go UNDER the total.

The Bronx Bombers were rained out yesterday, but they are all set to host the Houston Astros in what we expect to be a pitcher's duel at Yankee Stadium this afternoon. Dallas Keuchel will start opposite Masahiro Tanaka on a sunny but cold day in the Bronx. These conditions should favor the pitchers.

Keuchel certainly likes pitching in the afternoon, he was 6-3 with a 2.34 ERA in 11 starts in day games last year. He also loves pitching against the Yankees, as he was 2-0 versus New York last year, tossing 16 scoreless innings against them. If Spring Training is any indication, the Bronx Bombers are in for a rough day. Keuchel was flawless this Spring, striking out 16 in 17 scoreless innings of work.

The Yankees hand the ball to Masahiro Tanaka, who has been a far better pitcher at home than he has been on the road. Tanaka is 13-6 with a 2.98 ERA in 24 career starts at Yankee Stadium, and he's another pitcher that doesn't mind a matinee.

Keuchel and Tanaka were the starters the last time these teams faced each other (AL Wild Card Game), and the Astros won 3-0. I expect a similar result here today.

Take UNDER.
