In his last MLB regular season start, he allowed 3 earned runs, 0 homers, and 3 BB with 6 strikeouts on 7 hits through 5 innings played against the Boston Red Sox.

The current betting odds have the Yankees listed as a pick 'em in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Yankees haven't been great in their games lately and they are only in 3rd place in the AL East but they are still 7 games above .500 and their pitching has been really good all season too. They have Severino on the mound in this game and he gave up 3 runs in his last start but he really hasn't been terrible in his starts this year and will be looking to bounce back at home here with a better outing. The Rangers have been having a great season as they lead the AL West with one of the best records in the entire MLB and also have one of the best offenses too, but their pitching hasn't been good as their bullpen has been really bad and even their starters have begun to slip as of late. Gray is on the mound for them here but he gave up 6 runs in his last start and has been giving up more runs in his starts lately. Being on the road here isn't going to help him much either and he might not be able to get bailed out by the Rangers offense with the Yankees pitching so well. The Yankees also got crushed by the Mariners at home the other night so they definitely have a bad taste in their mouths from that game and will be looking to erase that with a better home series here. The best way to place a bet here is on the Yankees to win this game.
