Rangers vs Yankees Predictions and Picks
"In this particular matchup, the Yankees are going to have their hands full going up against deGrom. The Rangers pitcher has looked like the ace of old, allowing a combined three runs over his last four starts .... Yarbrough has looked good since being added to the rotation, but he's only made two starts thus far, so he is not fully stretched out at this point. All it will take is manager Aaron Boone leaving him in one pitch longer than he should have been in there. Texas has the bats to take advantage of that pitch in what I expect to be a very tight matchup." — Craig Forde, Statsalt
"I'm backing the Yankees here. I just think that while Jacob deGrom is the Rangers' staff ace, Yarbrough can undoubtedly have a good start here. Likewise, I think that the lack of consistent offense could come back to hurt the Rangers and waste a perfectly good start from deGrom here. The Yankees' bats have been cooking as of late, and I think that they do enough to back Yarbrough here and get the win in the end. Give me the Yankees here." — Chris Ruffolo, Sports Chat Place
"I am going with the Rangers to get a win in this one, though, because they have an advantage in the pitching matchup. Jacob deGrom allowed a .179 BA in 51 at-bats against the Yankees in his career, while he surrendered six runs in his previous six starts, including two shutouts and two quality starts. Ryan Yarbrough, on the other hand, has been solid in his two starts, but he's only starting because the Yankees have several injured pitchers. Yarbrough could last for four or five innings, but I think the Rangers will score multiple runs off him early on. Go with the Rangers." — Oliver Zivic, PickDawgz
