Texas Rangers vs NY Yankees Prediction
New York lost another game on Tuesday night and they are now second in the AL East behind the Orioles. The Yankees are 43-28 this year, while the Rangers are 37-33 at home. New York has struggled over the last couple of weeks and they will turn to Stroman to get things back on the right track.
Stroman has been inconsistent this season, but he has pitched pretty well in his last four outings. Texas is going with Eovaldi, who has not been great in four of his last five starts. I really don’t love either pitcher in this matchup, but I think the Yankees can do some damage against Eovaldi here. Take New York to get the win.
