There is no need for Gerrit Cole and Carlos Rodon to rush back from their elbow injuries, considering how well Will Warren is pitching for the Yankees. Warren is 2-0 with a 2.49 ERA. He is off a 13-2 win against the Royals, where he allowed two runs in seven innings and had 11 strikeouts. Warren goes against Lance McCullers, who has a 6.20 ERA and has not been effective in four years due to injuries. McCullers has surrendered 13 earned runs in his last three starts spanning 13.1 innings. Still without closer Josh Hader, Houston has the second-highest bullpen ERA at 5.75. The Astros also have a cluster injury problem in their outfield, as Jake Meyers, Joey Loperfido, and Taylor Trammell are all on the injured list. Also out is shortstop Jeremy Pena, who had a breakout season last year. The Yankees are riding a season-high six-game winning streak. Take the Yankees.

New York at Houston
8:10 PM Eastern
Houston will try to cool off the Yankees, who have won eight of nine after Trent Grisham hit his second grand slam in five days in their 7-1 victory on Tuesday. Will Warren will start tonight for New York and he has allowed 12 runs (six earned) on 18 hits his past 13 2/3 innings. He has a 4.30 ERA and a 1.40 WHIP overall this season and a 5.58 ERA with a .280 opponent batting average in road contests. The Astros are 42-31 at home and the Yankees are just 36-33 on the road. Houston has won Jason Alexander's past six starts while giving him plenty of run support. He generally has given his team five or six solid innings and New York hitters are 3-for-26 with one homer against Alexander. Take the Astros.
