New York Yankees at Texas Rangers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s New York Yankees at Texas Rangers odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The New York Yankees (15-13) and Texas Rangers (16-11) wrap up their 4-game series Sunday in Arlington. First pitch from Globe Life Field is slated for 2:35 p.m. ET (MLB Network). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Yankees vs. Rangers odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Rangers lead 2-1

New York’s offense has hit the skids. Over their last 9 games, the Yankees have scored 2 runs or less 6 times. With OF Aaron Judge now injured (hip strain, day-to-day), New York’s lineup card scares no one.

Texas has won back-to-back games and is 3-1 in its last 4 games at home. The Rangers, who will visit New York June 23-25, have not won a season series against the Yankees since 2016.

Yankees at Rangers picks and predictions

Prediction

Yankees 5, Rangers 4

Moneyline

As far as pitchers faced so far this season, New York batters have had one of the tougher schedules in the league. Even current injuries accounted for, look for a rally in the Yankees’ lackluster offensive numbers.

Cortes excels in limiting hard contact. Expect a bounce-back after the last 2 days. TAKE NEW YORK (-122).

Run line/Against the spread

PASS. Peg the moneyline as being a better value.

Over/Under

There is some 4-sector (both starters, both bullpens) fade to the pitching in this game: Surface stats exceeding analytics-based expected numbers.

A Yankee offense that with runners in scoring position has betted .200-or-less in 7 of its last 9 games is dues some forward regression.

BACK THE OVER 8 (-118).

New York Yankees at Texas Rangers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s New York Yankees at Texas Rangers odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The New York Yankees (15-12) play the 3rd game of a 4-game series against the Texas Rangers (15-11) on Saturday at Globe Life Field. First pitch is scheduled for 7:05 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Yankees vs. Rangers odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Tied 1-1

The Yankees lost 5-2 to the Rangers Friday with OF Aaron Judge inactive due to a hip injury. New York has posted a 5-5 record in its last 10 contests.

Rangers RHP Jacob deGrom left Friday’s start after 3 2/3 IP due to forearm tightness. Texas ended a 4-game losing skid with the victory.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Yankees at Rangers projected starters

RHP Jhony Brito vs. RHP Nathan Eovaldi

Brito (2-2, 6.11 ERA) makes his 6th start. He has a 1.53 WHIP, 5.1 BB/9 and 6.1 K/9 through 17 2/3 IP.

  • Allowed only 1 ER on 5 H with 3 BB and 8 K in 10 IP in his first 2 starts of the season vs. the San Francisco Giants and Baltimore Orioles
  • Given up 11 ER on 12 H with 6 BB and 4 K in 7 2/3 IP in his last 3 starts against the Minnesota Twins (twice) and Los Angeles Angels

Eovaldi (2-2, 5.20 ERA) makes his 6th start. He has a 1.41 WHIP, 1.6 BB/9 and 10.1 K/9 through 27 2/3 IP.

  • Has surrendered 2 or more ER and tallied at least 5 K’s in each of his first 5 starts.
  • Owns a 3-4 record with a 3.83 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 8.2 K/9 in 15 career starts (18 appearances) against the Yankees.

Yankees at Rangers picks and predictions

Prediction

Rangers 6, Yankees 3

Moneyline

With the Yankees expected to be without Judge again on Saturday, I’ll back the RANGERS (-150) at home. Brito has also mightily struggled in each of his last 3 starts for New York.

Run line/Against the spread

RANGERS -1.5 (+135) has solid value with Texas having the pitching advantage in this bout. Eovaldi should have more success on the mound with Judge sidelined and the Yankees are still without OF Giancarlo Stanton, as well.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 8.5 (-110).

There’s a chance the Yankees produce a few runs with Eovaldi giving up 2-plus ER in each of his first 5 starts. Brito has struggled with walks and he’s been allowing more hard contact in recent starts, which isn’t ideal against a Rangers squad that is swinging a hot bat right now.

New York Yankees at Texas Rangers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s New York Yankees at Texas Rangers odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The New York Yankees (15-11) and Texas Rangers (14-11) continue their 4-game series Friday in Arlington. First pitch from Globe Life Field is slated for 8:05 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Yankees vs. Rangers odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Yankees lead 1-0

New York hit 3 home runs and won Thursday’s series opener 4-2. The Yankees had not clubbed multiple homers in a game since April 15. New York is averaging just 4.31 runs per game (RPG), which ranks 20th in MLB.

Texas has lost 4 games in a row. The Rangers had averaged 8.44 RPG from April 16-25 but have scored just 5 runs over the last 2 games.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Yankees at Rangers projected starters

RHP Clarke Schmidt vs. RHP Jacob deGrom

Schmidt (0-2, 6.30 ERA) makes his 6th start. He has a 1.55 WHIP, 2.7 BB/9 and 10.8 K/9 through 20 IP.

  • Facing a left-leaning Texas lineup, and that’s a problem. Has coughed up a .965 OPS vs. lefty bats in his career (.606 OPS vs. right-handed batters).
  • Was held to 4 IP or fewer in his 1st 4 starts this season

DeGrom (2-0, 3.04 ERA) is tabbed for his 6th start of the season. He has a 0.79 WHIP, 1.0 BB/9 and 14.5 K/9 through 26 2/3 IP.

  • Has not faced the Yankees since 2018
  • Owns a 1.57 ERA and 0.65 WHIP over his last 4 starts

Yankees at Rangers picks and predictions

Prediction

Rangers 4, Yankees 2

Moneyline

No lean either way: PASS.

Run line/Against the spread

With a low total and the Under being a likable play, the Yankees +1.5 (-114) is the play at which to look. There is some risk with lefties getting to Schmidt early, but it’s a theoretical lean anyway. That side gets downgraded, though, by injuries to DH Giancarlo Stanton (IL, hamstring) and OF Aaron Judge (day-to-day, hip) and the Rangers cranking out softball numbers is not too far in the rearview mirror.

PASS.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

The Under is 5-2 in the Yankees’ last 7 games, and it’s 13-3 across the last 16 New York-Texas contests.

With deGrom being one of the mound particulars, the total here is a low one. Figure Schmidt as being undervalued for what he can bring to the table. He’s been undone by a .345 batting average on balls in play.

A high-quality Yankee bullpen is well-rested, and the visiting nine will be without the services of Stanton and maybe Judge as well.

The price here is fair: BACK THE UNDER 7 (-114).

New York Yankees at Texas Rangers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s New York Yankees at Texas Rangers odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The New York Yankees (14-11) will travel to begin a 4-game series against the Texas Rangers (14-10) on Thursday at Globe Life Field. First pitch is scheduled for 8:05 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Yankees vs. Rangers odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: First meeting; Yankees went 4-3 vs. the Rangers in 2022

On Wednesday, the Yankees defeated the Twins 12-6 with 5 players having multi-hit games as New York ended a 3-game losing streak.

The Rangers lost 5-3 to the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday. Although Texas was swept in its 3-game series against the Reds, it has still won 6 of its last 10 contests.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Yankees at Rangers projected starters

RHP Gerrit Cole vs. LHP Andrew Heaney

Cole (4-0, 0.79 ERA) makes his 6th start. He has a 0.79 WHIP, 2.6 BB/9 and 9.5 K/9 in 34 IP.

  • Hasn’t surrendered more than 2 ER in any of his starts this season
  • Owns a 5-4 record with a 3.84 ERA and a 1.11 WHIP with 14.3 K/9 in 13 career starts against the Rangers

Heaney (2-1, 4.34 ERA) makes his 5th start. He has a 1.34 WHIP, 4.3 BB/9 and 9.6 K/9 in 18 2/3 IP.

  • 1st start of season: Allowed 7 ER on 7 H with 2 BB and 2 K in 2 2/3 IP
  • Last 3 starts: Has allowed a combined 2 ER on 9 H with 7 BB and 18 K in 16 IP

Yankees at Rangers picks and predictions

Prediction

Yankees 3, Rangers 2

Moneyline

PASS.

While the Yankees are expected to win with Cole on the bump, taking them straight up isn’t worth the risk. I’d feel better taking New York’s money line in this contest if you can get it at -160 or better.

Run line/Against the spread

RANGERS +1.5 (-115) is how I’d play the spread as Heaney has pitched well for Texas in his recent outings. On top of that, the Yankees are slashing .200/.335/.309 against LHP this season.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

BET UNDER 7.5 (+100).

With Cole and Heaney on the mound in this game, I don’t expect many runs to be scored in Thursday’s matchup. The Under is 5-1 in the last 6 meetings in Texas and 6-1 in the last 7 meetings overall.

New York Yankees at Texas Rangers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s New York Yankees at Texas Rangers odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

The New York Yankees (99-62) and Texas Rangers (67-94) meet for a Wednesday contest as they close out a 4-game series — and the regular season — at Globe Life Field. First pitch is slated for 4:05 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Yankees at Rangers odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: New York leads 4-2

The Yankees’ home-run pace — and that of slugging OF Aaron Judge — had slowed in the week prior to this series. However, including Judge’s historic 62nd round-tripper in the nightcap of a Tuesday twin bill, the Yanks have hit 7 HR over 3 games in Arlington.

The Rangers have lost 10 of their last 12 games. Over those 12 contests, the Rangers offense has slashed a .189/.245/.320 (.566 OPS). Texas had a fine .816 OPS at home from Sept. 9-22 but it owns a .566 OPS in 6 home games since.

Yankees at Rangers projected starters

RHP Domingo German vs. RHP Glenn Otto

German (2-4, 3.31 ERA) has appeared in 14 games (13 as a starter). He has a 1.12 WHIP, 2.4 BB/9 and 6.9 K/9 through 68 IP.

  • Facing a Texas squad that has filed a 28% strikeout rate while posting a .566 OPS over its last 12 games
  • Owns a 2.86 ERA on the road
  • Gets a Rangers offense more adept against lefties (.745 OPS) than right-handers (.673 OPS).

Otto (6-10, 4.72 ERA) owns a 1.35 WHIP, 4.2 BB/9 and 7.1 K/9 through 129 2/3 IP across 26 starts.

  • Threw 91 pitches — his most since Aug. 5 — in his last start
  • Owns a 5.63 ERA and 1.44 WHIP at home

Yankees at Rangers picks and predictions

Prediction

Rangers 4, Yankees 3

Moneyline

Otto is a question mark but one that’s fairly clear; German has a surface line out of whack with support numbers. The Yankee right-hander has been very much propped up by a .251 batting average on balls in play.

Mix in some final day of the regular season factors, some home-run-chase-hangover and some in-game tryouts in some important slots — including important bullpen innings — and the New York side is getting too much credit here.

TAKE TEXAS (+115), but consider a partial-unit outlay or waiting out a tag of +125 or better.

Run line/Against the spread

AVOID.

The plus money on the above play is closer to value.

Over/Under

There is some fade to both offenses, but no faith in the pitching to close the deal.

PASS.

New York Yankees at Texas Rangers Game 2 odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s New York Yankees at Texas Rangers Game 2 odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

The New York Yankees (98-61) and Texas Rangers (66-93) meet for a Tuesday day-night doubleheader as they continue a 4-game series at Globe Life Field. First pitch in Tuesday’s 2nd game is slated for 8:05 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Yankees at Rangers odds with MLB picks and predictions.

(Stats and records don’t include Game 1 of Tuesday’s doubleheader)

Season series: New York leads 3-1

New York got a couple of home runs — just none off the bat of OF Aaron Judge — in taking Monday’s series opener 3-1. The Yankees’ home-run pace has slowed in the last week or so; a club that banged out 26 HR in 12 games from Sept. 10-24 has hit just 7 HR in its last 8 games.

The Rangers have lost 6 consecutive games and 9 of their last 10. Over those 10 games, the Rangers offense has slashed a .182/.242/.305 (.547 OPS). Texas had a fine .816 OPS at home from Sept. 9-22; the Rangers own a .501 OPS in 4 home games since.

Yankees at Rangers Game 2 projected starters

RHP Gerrit Cole vs. TBD

Cole (13-7, 3.51 ERA) is tabbed for his 33rd start of the season. He has a 1.02 WHIP, 2.3 BB/9 and 11.5 K/9 through 194 2/3 IP.

  • Owns a 5.79 ERA over his last 23 1/3 IP; has allowed 8 home runs over that stretch

RHP Spencer Howard and LHP Kolby Allard are recent call-ups from Triple-A Round Rock. The Rangers’ Game 2 starter may well depend on the club’s pitching use in the opener, but both Howard and Allard appear to be prominent in the mix.

Yankees at Rangers picks and predictions

Prediction

Yankees 4, Rangers 3

Moneyline

Many of Coles’ 2nd-half missteps — and there have been several — have come after high-pitch-count innings. That is not the case here; he’s coming off 92 pitches in his last start.

Giving Cole and the deeper Yankees bullpen — and the deeper New York lineup — the benefit of the doubt in a 2-game war of attrition is looking like it brings a bit of value here.

TAKE NEW YORK (-180).

Run line/Against the spread

The Yanks are a fair play here, but they tend to play in a lot of 1-run games, and they may be in lineup-rest, reliever-tryout mode by the late innings.

AVOID.

Over/Under

Too much gray area in the pitching side of the equation. Add in an ocean of juice here and PASS: Move along to greener pastures.

  • Has allowed just 2 runs in his last 13 1/3 IP
  • Has gotten fewer swings and misses than he did when he posted a 4.30 ERA in 2021 but has also walked fewer batters while inducing more ground balls

Yankees at Rangers Game 1 picks and predictions

Prediction

Yankees 3, Rangers 2

Moneyline

Looking at runs vs. runs allowed, the Rangers have been unlucky to post a .415 win percentage to date. To a lesser extent, the Yankees have the same lean. With this pitching match-up and the prices, there is no daylight here.

PASS.

Run line/Against the spread

With the likable Under on a low total, the RANGERS +1.5 (-175) are the LEAN here.

Over/Under

Both hurlers have sub-indicators that support their fine surface numbers. A case can be made that both offenses are a tad overcooked in their numbers.

BACK THE UNDER 7.5 (-140).

RHP Domingo German is the projected starting pitcher for the Yankees. He is 3-2 with a 3.62 ERA, 1.15 WHIP, 8.9 K/9, and 1.9 BB/9 in 37 1/3 IP over 7 starts.

In his last start, German allowed just 1 run in six frames. He has registered quality starts in four of his last five outings and owns a 2.37 ERA over that span.

RHP Dane Dunning is the projected starter for the Rangers. Dunning is 2-3 with a 4.34 ERA, 1.42 WHIP, 10.1 K/9, and 3.1 BB/9 in 37 1/3 IP over 8 starts.

The 26-year-old right-hander struggled early in his last start and only went four innings. But Dunning has otherwise pitched well this season, and his 4.34 ERA is inflated by a .358 batting average on balls in play.

He’s pitched especially well in his home yard where in 8 career games he owns a 3.35 ERA while holding foes to a tidy .566 OPS.

  • Money line: Yankees -135 (bet $135 win $100) | Rangers +110 (bet $100 to win $110)

  • Over/Under: 8 (O: -115 | U: -105)

Prediction

Rangers 4, Yankees 3

Money line (ML)

The Rangers took Monday’s series opener 5-2 and snapped a six-game losing skid. Texas came into the series having posted a .598 OPS during the skid.

The Yankees took Tuesday’s game, 7-4, and then rode a Corey Kluber no-hitter to a 2-0 win on Wednesday.

Look for a hangover bounce in Thursday’s get-away day against a right-hander who’s analytic-ERA measures are in the low 3s.

Dunning’s stuff projects well against right-handed bats, and that’s a big part of the New York arsenal. The Yanks are thus far 1-5 in get-away days on the road. The five losses have been in a row.

BACK TEXAS (+110), and a hold-out for a better price closer to first pitch is suggested.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

PASS on the run-line action, although consider a play on the Rangers should the tag reach -140.

Over/Under (O/U)

There has been some big money going toward the Over side of the ledger here. I’d be inclined to PASS but to swing a play the other way and hit the Under if the total went to 8.5. Yankee injuries, their rested bullpen, and decent (likely underrated) starters backing up the action.

New York Yankees at Texas Rangers odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Monday’s New York Yankees at Texas Rangers odds and lines, with MLB picks and predictions.

The New York Yankees (22-18) and Texas Rangers (18-24) swing into a four-game series Monday with an 8:05 p.m. ET game at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the Yankees vs. Rangers odds with MLB picks and predictions.

RHP Gerrit Cole is the projected starting pitcher for the Yankees. He is 5-1 with a 1.37 ERA, 0.68 WHIP, 13.3 K/9, and 0.5 BB/9 in 52 2/3 IP over 8 starts.

Cole is coming off eight shutout frames against the Rays on Wednesday. Monday’s start at Texas will mark the right-hander’s fourth road turn this season; he’s allowed just two earned runs over the first three.

RHP Jordan Lyles is the projected starter for the Rangers. He is 1-3 with a 6.63 ERA, 1.61 WHIP, 8.5 K/9, and 3.6 BB/9 in 38 IP over 8 starts. Lyles has allowed 15 ER over 11 home innings this season.

Prediction

Yankees 6, Rangers 3

Money line (ML)

The Yankees are closing out a 10-game, three-stop road trip with this four-game set in Arlington. New York has thus far gone 4-2 on the trip, and the Yanks are 13-5 since April 27.

The Rangers are returning home after a woeful 0-6 trip to San Francisco and Houston. Texas scored just 17 runs over the half-dozen games (2.8 runs per game); the Rangers clocked a mere .598 OPS on the trip.

Both clubs figure as a bit undercooked with their current won-loss records. PASS on trying to parse any value on the expensive money line.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

A 2-and-a-half-run line gets this matchup into a near-even-money proposition. Consider the YANKEES -2.5 (-105) play — perhaps with a partial unit — as being the best way to leverage the visitors’ monster advantage on the mound.

Over/Under (O/U)

Lyles allows a lot of fly balls and he’s been hit hard. Although the Yanks are dinged up with a few injuries, their Statcast data is more out of line with their results than just about any other club in Major League Baseball.

The Rangers have hit the ball well on their last couple of home stands. Cole and both bullpens are top-notch but peg the OVER 8 (-105) as a low-to-moderate-confidence play.

An 8 marks a higher-than-normal O/U for Cole; consider holding out for a better price.
