New York Yankees vs. Texas Rangers Prediction
I’m on the Yankees here. I just think there’s a huge edge in starting pitching for the Yankees here with Fried over Leiter that I’m not sure the Rangers’ bats can overcome in this game. I think that New York takes advantage of the matchup offensively and gets the job done in this one. Give me the Yankees in this one.
