Texas Rangers vs New York Yankees Prediction
I might try the Rangers here. Heaney is coming off a nice outing versus the Astros, posting one earned over 6.0 innings on one hit and a walk. Heaney had 10 earned in 9.1 innings prior to that, however. As for Stroman, he’s got 10 earned runs in his last 6.0 innings so he definitely needs a good showing as well.
In the Saturday opener Texas fell behind early and couldn’t do much on offense. In game two the bats looked much better with 16 team hits. The Rangers have a decent chance at a W Sunday if they can keep it going at the plate.
