The New York Yankees are getting deserved attention for a pace that has them challenging the all-time single-season win record. But this weekend, June 23 to June 26, the Yanks will face the best in the West when the Houston Astros come to The Bronx for a four-game series. Those who plan to place a wager on the games can take advantage of this weekend’s DraftKings NY Promo Code.

The Yankees and Astros have an Empire State, Texas-sized rivalry, having met twice in the American League Championship Series in recent years. In both 2017 and 2019, Houston defeated the Yankees to capture the American League flag. The first of those battles is clouded in controversy due to trash can banging and Apple Watch electronic surveillance sign-stealing scandals from each side.
This weekend several of MLB’s top stars and award candidates will be on display as these rivals meet for the only time in NYC this regular season.

MVP and Cy Young Award Watch

Judge is the favorite to win the AL MVP, but Angels two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani will be difficult to hold down. Look out for two players who could drive toward the award with hot summers with the stick — Houston’s Yordan Álvarez and Xander Bogaerts of the Red Sox.

DraftKings lists Tampa Bay southpaw Shane McClanahan as the favorite (+340) slightly over Verlander, but JV has been there many times and will be able to weather September better, as a veteran. I suspect he is on his way to a third Cy Young Award.
