Shane’s Free Pick
The Rangers are averaging 6.42 runs per game, but going against Cole is going to be a problem. Cole sits with an ERA of 0.79 and the Rangers are going to really struggle in this game to get anything going. Heaney hasn’t been awful, but the Yankees are going to score enough to get the job done.
