Texas Rangers vs New York Yankees Prediction
The Rangers are going through a funk this week while the Yankees keep scoring and winning games. The Yankees should be favored at home with the quick turnaround. I still like the value of the Rangers and the plus money. Eovaldi has been one of the best starting pitchers in baseball this season with a 1.61 ERA and 0.77 WHIP. In his last 18.2 innings, Eovaldi has allowed nine hits and one run. In 37.2 road innings, Eovaldi has a 1.43 ERA and a .174 allowed batting average. Yes, the Yankees are the better team, and Rodon has held his own as well with his 0.99 WHIP, but I can’t turn down Eovaldi at this price. Give me the Rangers.
