New York Yankees vs. Texas Rangers Prediction

I’m on the Rangers in this one. The Rangers haven’t been special against lefties this season, but this is still a decent spot for Texas against Rodon who has been sliding in a lot of his recent road outings and the Yankees bats haven’t been backing up their pitchers in a lot of their games lately. Texas is finding ways to get it done as of late and while Leiter isn’t my favorite in this Texas rotation, I think he’s good enough here. Give me Texas.
