This game should be as exciting as last night.
Servino has been pitching well in his 4 starts since returning Sept 21st from the "tatoo" injury that laid him up for 2 months. In his last outing vs Cleveland he did get dinged up a bit w/ 3 ER over 5.2 innings. The Astros are hitting 0.262 avg (career) against him. 6 Atros batters are hitting 0.250 or better vs Servino with all having DD at bats vs Servino. His last outings vs Houston was in June where he gave up 2 and 3 ER over 6 innings in two games.
Framber Valdez. This guy is consistent. Sure he's had a couple bad outings (late Sept vs BAL and TB) but over the long haul he's been pretty solid. Yankees are hitting 0.208 avg (career) vs him but most have seen limited at bats against him except (Stanton 8 AB, 0.500 avg, Torres 8 AB 0.250 avg, and Trevino 9 AB 0.00 avg).
Astros can hit Servino so I expect him to find the exit first. Since the Astros pen is much stronger than the Yankees IMO, that will only lead to more Astros hits.
The odds are about right on this on at -135 so its not a huge edge but, I think the Astros take game 2 tonight.
