Yankees vs Rangers Prediction
New York comes into this series after winning three of their last four games, and they have allowed two runs in four of their last five. The Yankees are 15-9 at home this year, while the Rangers are 8-13 on the road. Texas is coming off a tough loss to Houston on Sunday, and they will start Corbin, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in four of his last five starts. New York is starting Warren, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in three of his last five. Both of these pitchers have been serviceable so far this year, but I don’t really trust either one here, so I will grab the plus money with the Rangers.
