New York Yankees vs. Texas Rangers Prediction

I’m leaning towards the Yankees here. It may not seem like the best strategy given how New York looked against Miami, but the thing for me is that Max Fried has been their ace this season and is good enough to go deep into this game which negates the biggest weakness from New York’s recent series, and that’s been their bullpen. The Rangers haven’t been great against lefties and I think Patrick Corbin is still pitching slightly above his pay grade. Give me the Yankees in this one to snap out of their funk.
