The Rangers are coming into this game with a 10-14 record overall and they are 6-5 in their road games this season where they will be in this game. They are coming into this game on a 4 game winning streak. They just won their 2-game series against the Philadelphia Phillies 2-0 completing the sweep, had Thursday off as a rest day, and they are playing the 2nd game of a 3-game series with the Yankees on Saturday night. This will be the 2nd game of the series on Saturday with the series opener still to be played on Friday. Glenn Otto is the starting pitcher for them on Friday while there is no probable pitcher starting on the mound for them here on Saturday. They scored 8 runs in their last series averaging 4 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 5 runs against them averaging 2.5 runs allowed per game.

 

The Yankees are coming into this game with an 18-7 record overall and they are 10-3 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They have won 11 of their last 12 games but are coming into this one off of a loss in their last game which snapped an 11 game winning streak that they were on. They just won their 3-game series against the Toronto Blue Jays 2-1, had Thursday off as a rest day, and they are playing the 2nd game of a 3-game series with the Rangers on Saturday night. This will be the 2nd game of the series on Saturday with the series opener still to be played on Friday. Gerrit Cole is the starting pitcher for them on Friday while there is no probable pitcher starting on the mound for them here on Saturday. They scored 13 runs in their last series averaging just over 4 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 5 runs against them averaging just under 2 runs allowed per game.

 

The Yankees are coming into this game as a big favorite with the current betting odds. They have been playing very well in their recent games. They are coming off of a loss in their last game and that snapped an 11 game win streak but they have had a day off now and they should be well rested for this series. They are going up against a Rangers side that has also been playing well recently but not as good as the Yankees have been and the Yankees will be at home here as well. They have been hitting the ball very well and scoring a lot of runs in their games. They will drive up the score on the Rangers here at homer and they will win this game. The best bet here is on the Yankees to win.
