New York Yankees vs. Texas Rangers Prediction

I’m on the Yankees here. The Yankees continue to run hot and while it’s Elmer Rodriguez’s major league debut, he has solid stuff and is one of the Yankees’ top prospects for a reason. Eovaldi’s had trouble keeping the ball in the yard out of the gate, and I think that could end up coming back to haunt him in this one. Give me the Yankees.
