Rangers vs Yankees Prediction & Pick
Baseball fans are in for a treat on Sunday as two of the best pitchers in the American League are set to be on the mound. Nathan Eovaldi earns the nod for Texas behind his stellar 2.80 ERA and 0.99 WHIP. The 33-year-old enters with a 9-3 record and has posted two complete games on the season.
Meanwhile, Gerrit Cole draws the start for the Yankees. The five-time All-Star has pitched to a 2.64 ERA and 1.08 WHIP across 16 starts so far (8-1 record). Cole also ranks seventh in all of baseball with 106 strikeouts. Don't expect a ton of offense early on as each veteran quickly settles into a groove.
This game may be decided in the late innings, which is where the Yankees have an advantage. New York's bullpen ranks first in terms of ERA (2.89), while Texas' bullpen ranks 23rd (4.24). Look for Yankee arms like Clay Holmes (2.51 ERA) and Jimmy Cordero (0.94 WHIP) to keep Texas in check when it matters.
Final Score Prediction:'Rangers: 2 | Yankees: 4
Rangers vs Yankees Best Bet
This game screams low-scoring battle. The total has hit the Under in eight of New York's last nine home games as well as in four of Texas' last six away games. The Under has also cashed in 14 of the last 18 matchups between the Yankees and Rangers. That would be enough to justify the Under even if two of the best pitchers in the league weren't on the mound. Trust Eovaldi and Cole to remain elite.
