New York Yankees vs Texas Rangers Prediction
The Yankees are rolling, looking like a World Series contender through 30 games and they should be favored over a Rangers team that continues to be hit or miss. Schlittler has also been fantastic through 35.2 innings. I get it. However, we’re getting plus money with a Hall of Fame pitcher in deGrom, who is in form through 25.1 frames. deGrom has a 2.13 ERA and 1.07 WHIP with 35 strikeouts. Those who have followed me over the years know I’m a sucker for aces at plus money. Give me the Rangers.
