They enter this game with a 59-55 record overall and have a home record of 35-20. This is the 3rd game of a 3-game series with the Yankees on Wednesday with the 2nd game of this series still to be played on Tuesday. The Rangers won the 1st game of this series on Monday.

The current betting odds have the Yankees listed as a favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Rangers have looked good in their games this season with their 59-55 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 35-20 home record. Meanwhile, the Yankees have looked really good in their games this season with their 60-53 record overall which has them right in the middle of the AL East. They haven't been a great road team though with their 26-31 road record this season. The Yankees haven't looked great lately either and they already lost the 1st game of this series too, but they have the better pitching matchup here and they are going to be desperate to turn things around with the division getting away from them now. Rodon is on the mound for the Yankees in this one and he has been one of their best starters this season. He is 11-7 with a 3.34 ERA and the team has had a lot of success with him this season. They have struggled more lately as the team has lost 2 of their last 3 games with him starting and he did give up 4 earned runs in his last start, but he is still a very reliable starter for them and he will be looking to have a better start here. The Rangers don't have a great offense this year either so this is a good game for him to bounce back with a better start. The Rangers are going with Leiter in this one and he hasn't looked great this season. He is 7-6 with a 4.10 ERA and has been really up and down this year. He has looked better lately as his team has won 3 of the last 4 games he started in and he only gave up 2 earned runs in his last start too, but that hasn't been a common theme for him this year and the Yankees still have one of the best offenses in the MLB. The best way to place a bet here is on the Yankees to win this game.

"The season’s getting shorter in a hurry. So it's no time for excuses and feeling bad, and I know everyone feels like crap, but we’ve got to go take it. And we haven't been able to do that here on this road trip so far, but we’ve got to do better.” - Aaron Boone after his team’s loss against the Rangers in their game on Monday. 

“I think, more than anything, it's wanting it. You gotta want it in the worst way. Live it, breathe it. You gotta go out every game determined to win the ballgame. And putting the losses behind you, that's gotta be important too. Because every now and then, with how tight things are, every loss can be magnified. There’s a lot of baseball left. We’ve gotta keep that focus every day.” - Bruce Bochy before his team’s win against the Yankees in their game on Monday.
