Yankees vs. Rangers Prediction

I’m leaning towards the Rangers here. I didn’t think I’d catch myself backing Texas the rest of the year, but the Yankees have fallen into a bit of a pattern lately. Win the opener of the series and drop the next two. Eovaldi’s one of Texas’ better options and it’s about time, but the Rangers are finally starting to show a sense of urgency with their play and have all of the momentum after walking off New York on Tuesday. Stroman’s one of my least favorite options in the Yankees’ rotation and I think the Rangers get to him. Give me Texas.
