Saturday's MLB oddsboard gets underway with the Houston Astros taking on the New York Yankees just after 1 p.m. ET.

The Astros are in a dogfight with the Texas Rangers in the AL West and are once again in the MLB playoff picture. Meanwhile the Yankees are in unfamiliar territory at just 57-53, good for dead last in the AL East.

Both teams clearly have something to play for on Saturday, and the latest MLB odds for Astros vs. Yankees show Houston as a -138 favorite against New York.

So, what is the smartest MLB prediction for this matchup in the Bronx? Should bettors back Justin Verlander and the Astros on the road? Or are the Yankees offering too much value to pass up at plus-money?

With the help of the Action Network's PRO MLB predictions, let's answer these very questions.
