Why the Rangers Will Beat the Yankees
- The Yankees have lost nine of their last 12 games as favorites following a road win.
- The Rangers have won five of their last six home games against AL East opponents following a home loss.
- The Rangers have covered the run line in five of their last six night games against AL East opponents following a home loss.
- The Yankees have failed to cover the run line in four of their last five games as favorites after playing the previous day.
Texas Rangers vs NY Yankees Prediction
This is a great spot to take the Rangers. Heaney’s record might not be great, but his stats and ERA are actually solid. In his last start, he gave up only one run in five innings and the Yankees offense is going to really struggle here. The Rangers are going to chase Rodon early and that will be the difference as Texas is going to get the job done. Back the Rangers on the money line to cash here.
