The current betting odds have the Rangers listed as a favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Rangers have looked good in their games this season with their 58-55 record overall which has them right in the middle of the AL West. They have also looked a lot better in their own ballpark this year with their 34-20 home record. Meanwhile, the Yankees have looked really good in their games this season with their 60-52 record overall which has them right in the middle of the AL East. They haven't been a great road team though with their 26-30 road record this season. The Yankees have also been in a slump lately as they are 4-6 in their last 10 games and the Rangers have the better pitching matchup in this one too. The Rangers are going with Eovaldi in this one and he has looked great this season. He is 9-3 with a 1.49 ERA and has been the ace for the Rangers this year. He is coming off another great start in which he only gave up 1 earned run, something that has been a common theme for him, and the team has had a ton of success with him starting too, winning 5 games in a row now with him on the mound. The Yankees are going with Warren in this one and he hasn't looked great this season. He is 6-5 with a 4.64 ERA and has been giving up runs in his starts. His team has had more success lately as they have won 2 of their last 3 games with him starting and he only gave up 1 earned run in his last start too, but that hasn't been a common theme for him this year and this has been a completely different Rangers team at home this year. The Yankees may have the better offense, but they haven't looked great lately and the Rangers do have the better pitching with their starter and bullpen which gives them the edge here. The best way to place a bet here is on the Rangers to win this game.

“I think we have the makings of a very good club, but obviously we haven’t shown it consistently enough.” - Aaron Boone after his team’s loss against the Marlins in their game on Sunday.

“It was a tough road trip. We lost some tough games. Today was another one. They're battling out there. I'll say that it was a tough day for Jacob. He was off with this command that was evident. There's no use dwelling on it, you know? I think that's fair to say that it could have been different. This road trip today was a tough one.” - Bruce Bochy after his team’s loss against the Mariners in their game on Sunday.
