Aaron Judge leads the team in home runs and RBIs. The Yankees are 13-6 at home and 7-3 in their last 10 games. New York will look to finish their seven-game homestand with a 6-1 record.
On the mound for the Yankees is Paul Blackburn, who is (1-1), with a 3.21 ERA. This is a bullpen game for the Yankees and he will pitch one to two innings. In most of the outings, Blackburn usually gives up zero runs, but he did give up one earned run in a few of the opener starts.
Best Bet: Yankees Money line
New York hasn't lost two games in a row since mid-April. They have the best ERA in the big leagues and a bullpen game should keep the Rangers' bats guessing. Texas did just have a solid win on both sides of the ball, but they have dropped three of their last four games, with the offense scoring one run or fewer in two of those games.
