New York Yankees at Texas Rangers Preview & Picks

Texas are tipped to win as a home betting underdog tonight.

The Rangers have been on a roll at home, while the Yankees have underwhelmed in recent weeks and will send out a struggling starter.

  • Texas Rangers are 10-1 in their last 11 home games
  • New York Yankees are 4-12 in their last 16 road games
  • NY pitcher Max Fried allowed 25 hits and 16 earned runs last month
  • The Over has cashed in 9 of Texas’ last 13 games (1 push)

Head To Head

  • New York Yankees lead the all-time series 420-294
  • New York Yankees won 1-0 when the two teams last met on May 22

New York Yankees Form

New York head to Texas having begun this six game road trip with three consecutive defeats.

The Yankees went into that series in Miami on a decent run of form, having rebounded from 12-5 and 9-4 home defeats to Philadelphia.

They avoided being swept by the Phillies as they won the final meeting 4-3, and then responded to a 4-2 series opening defeat to Tampa Bay.

New York took the next three meetings with the Rays, reeling off 7-5, 5-4 and 7-4 wins to go into this trip with some form.

The Yankees failed to register a victory in Miami though, as they suffered 13-12, 2-0 and 7-3 defeats to the Marlins.

Texas Rangers Form

Texas return home after a disappointing road trip that culminated with a defeat in Seattle last night.

The Rangers went into that run of road games in great form, having won eight times during a nine-game sequence of home games.

They began that with 2-0 and 4-1 wins over Detroit, before rebounding from a 2-1 defeat to the Tigers with series sweeps of the Athletics (7-2, 6-2, 2-1) and Atlanta (8-3, 6-5, 8-1).

Texas failed to maintain that momentum on the road though, as they lost 6-4 and 8-5 to the Los Angeles Angels, before winning the finale 6-3.

The Rangers then lost 6-4 and 4-3 in Seattle, and failed to build on a 6-4 win over the Mariners as they lost the last meeting 5-4.

Verdict

Patrick Corbin does not have the strongest of records this season, but there is no doubting that Texas have been strong at home.

New York hardly arrive in good form either, so give us the Rangers and the plus-money here.
