With their eight-game winning streak snapped over the weekend, the Yankees now head to Arlington to start a new one as they open a three-game series against the Rangers on Monday night. First pitch is set for 8:05 p.m. EST at Globe Life Field, with the game broadcast on MLB.TV and YES.
New York (18-10) still boasts the best record in the American League despite suffering a 7-4 loss to Houston on Sunday. The defeat ended an eight-game winning streak and prompted the Yankees to option starting pitcher Luis Gil to Triple-A. The offense remains explosive, with Aaron Judge celebrating his 34th birthday on Sunday with his 10th home run of the season.
Left-handed ace Max Fried (3-1, 2.40 ERA) will take the mound after a brilliant last outing, tossing eight scoreless innings with nine strikeouts against Boston.
Texas (14-14) hopes to defend its home turf after dropping two of three games to the Athletics over the weekend. Third baseman Josh Jung has sparked the Rangers' lineup of late by hitting a scorching .378 over his last 21 games. He recently jumped up to the cleanup spot to support Corey Seager (six home runs) and offseason acquisition Brandon Nimmo.
The Rangers will send out right-hander Jack Leiter (1-1, 4.97 ERA), who showed flashes of dominance in his last start against Pittsburgh before unraveling in the fifth inning. He holds a winless record and a 6.48 ERA in two career starts against the Yankees.

Yankees vs Rangers Predictions and Picks
"This matchup favors the New York Yankees. Fried enters tomorrow's contest with a 2.40 ERA and a 0.77 WHIP, illustrating elite command on the mound this season. Conversely, Leiter has been inconsistent at times in 2026, which is concerning when facing a New York Yankees lineup led by Judge and Rice. With New York holding the pitching edge and the more reliable offense, I am backing the New York Yankees on the moneyline in this game." — Hans Geevers, PickDawgz
Best Bet: Yankees
The Yankees enjoy a huge starting pitching advantage. Fried has been dominant, posting a 2.40 ERA and a microscopic 0.77 WHIP over 41.1 innings. He faces a Texas lineup featuring key left-handed bats like Seager and Nimmo, who are hitting a combined 6-for-51 (.117) against Fried in their careers. With the Yankees' offense leading the majors in power (43 home runs) and entering this matchup with a 10-5 road record, we'll back the stronger starter and batting order.
