Luis Severino: o/u 4.5 Hits Allowed
Severino has faced the Houston Astros twice this season, giving up eight hits. The Yankeesâ€™ bullpen has been used quite a bit this postseason and will need Severino to last as long as possible.
Manager Aaron Boone has shown patience and trust in Severino already this postseason. In his last outing against the Guardians he gave up six hits and three runs in the first two innings. Boone left him in the game and went 5.2 innings giving up three runs on eight hits. Look for that type of outing again for Severino and the Yankees.

Bet: o4.5 Hits Allowed (+110 DraftKings)

Kyle Tucker: o/u .5 RBI
Kyle Tucker has the advantage of hitting in the middle of the Astros lineup. Guys in front of him often get on base, providing numerous opportunities to bring a guy home.
Tucker led the team in RBI with 107 and was second in HRs with 30. With guys like Jose Altuve and Alex Bregman with a ton of playoff experience and success, hitting in front of him is extremely valuable.

Tucker is 1-5 against Luis Severino, but that one hit was a 3-run home run

Bet: o.5 RBI (+160 DraftKings)

Jeremy Pena: o/u 1.5 Total Bases
Jeremy Pena has had a phenomenal rookie year for the Houston Astros. And that continued into the playoffs. The young shortstop has not shied away from the bright lights of the postseason. So far, in the 2022 MLB playoffs, Pena is batting .350 with three doubles, two home runs, and two RBI.

Bet: o1.5 Total Bases (+155 DraftKings)
