New York Yankees vs Texas Rangers Prediction

This price with Carlos Rodon on the hill is a bit nuts, especially with his struggles on the road. However, it speaks to how poorly the Rangers have played for much of the year and the fact Andrew Heaney hasn't had any success this season for several reasons. The Rangers have nothing to play for at this stage, and the Yankees are fighting for the best record in baseball. The price is still steep, but give me the RL to shave down some of that juice.
