Rangers vs Yankees Prediction

When it comes to pitching, it appears as though the New York Yankees maintain the edge. After a dreadful start to the season, Carlos Rodon seems to have regained his form. Over his past three starts, the Yankees starter is 3-0 with a 2.89 ERA and 25 strikeouts.

By contrast, Texas Rangers starter Nathan Eovaldi has struggled. Although 2-2 in his last five starts, Eovaldi has surrendered seventeen earned runs in his past 30 innings, marking him with a 5.10 ERA in that period.

Given that Yankees names like Aaron Judge, Anthony Volpe, Austin Wells and Alex Verdugo are all hitting around .300 over the past week, it looks like the Yankees' offense will prove too much for Texas to contend with.

Prediction: Yankees W, 9-6
