New York Yankees vs Texas Rangers Prediction & Picks - MLB

Prediction published on 9/4/24, 11:10 AM  by Carlos Zabala | Modified on 9/4/24 at 11:29 AM in MLB Picks

The Yankees lost the MLB East lead by losing to the Rangers in the last game, just as they have lost it in recent games, in the last inning at the hands of Holmes, who still received support from his manager Boone throughout the season. 2 of the Rangers' 6 hits went to Holmes in the last inning, and he also gave up 1 of the Rangers' HRs. In game 2, strangely there were no HRs from the Yankees, and only 1 has been hit at Globe Life Field, it was in game 1 hit by Stanton.

Eovaldi is the pitcher scheduled by Boshy for the 3rd and decisive game of the series. Eovaldi has been healthy most of the year and his last outing in August 2019 was a really good one against the White Sox, to whom he didn't allow a run in 7 innings, just one hit and struck out 10.

That's why the odds for this game are tight. Stroman has a better record than his Rangers counterpart, and a good streak where he didn't allow a single HR in any of his last 3 starts. Although his ERA has seen an increase as he did allow 12 ER in his last 5 starts.
