The New York Yankees aim to secure their third road sweep of the season when they face the Texas Rangers at 2:35 p.m. EST on Wednesday. New York's 20-10 record is the best in the American League, but the ever-tenacious Tampa Bay Rays own the second-best mark at 18-11, keeping things tight in the AL East. The Rangers are also staying competitive in their division, sitting a couple of games back of the Athletics despite a losing record. A win would go a long way in restoring morale before Texas visits New York for a rematch in a weeks' time.
A new face will make an appearance on the mound for the Yankees on Wednesday. The third-ranked prospect in New York's farm system, Elmer Rodriguez, will make his Major League debut after years of dominating the minor leagues. At only 22 years old, Rodriguez possesses electrifying velocity, often touching 97 mph on his fastball while keeping hitters off kilter with a complementary slider. A mediocre Texas offense that has not plated more than four runs in five straight games should provide a relatively soft landing spot for Rodriguez, despite the fact that this one is away from Yankee Stadium.
It is hard to find a pitcher more different than Rodriguez than Texas starter Nathan Eovaldi. The 15-year MLB veteran is in the middle of an awful start to the season, one that has seen him put up a 5.79 ERA and a 1.47 WHIP over six starts. As is the case with many veterans, Eovaldi has come to rely on his location as a response to his decline in velocity, but he has caught too much of the plate too often this year, resulting in consistent hard-hit balls from opposing hitters. A New York lineup that specializes in power hitting is perhaps the worst matchup Eovaldi could draw, making it likely another tough outing is in store for him.

Yankees vs Rangers Prediction and Pick
Neither side of the money line looks too appealing here. Instead, the over is the best bet. Rodriguez is making his first start in the big leagues and is unlikely to put together a stellar performance with so many nerves at play. Opposing him is Eovaldi, a soft-tossing starter that presents a fantastic matchup for New York's power hitters. The combination should result in a high-scoring contest, one that cashes the over easily.
