Key players like Cody Bellinger and Giancarlo Stanton provide depth to the lineup. Bellinger has a .276 average with 20 home runs, while Stanton has added 9 home runs. With their lineup and offensive stats, the Yankees have the tools to come out on top in this game.

The Rangers Can Win If…

The Texas Rangers recently won 8-5 against the New York Yankees. Josh Jung had a strong performance with a home run and three RBIs. Joc Pederson also contributed with a home run in his only at-bat, while Wyatt Langford added two hits and two runs.

The Rangers’ pitching staff has been solid this season. They have the best earned run average (ERA) in the league at 3.28 and are first in batting average against at .225. Nathan Eovaldi will start the next game with a league-leading ERA of 1.49, giving the Rangers a strong chance to win.

Offensively, the Rangers have power in their lineup. Corey Seager and Adolis García each have 16 home runs, adding strength to their batting order. With their combination of effective pitching and power hitting, the Rangers are well-positioned to secure another victory.

Rangers, Eovaldi Look to Keep Yankees Slumping

The Texas Rangers will ride the hot hand of Nathan Eovaldi on Tuesday night as they host the New York Yankees in Game 2 of a three-game series at Globe Life Field. With Eovaldi fresh off a dominant July, Texas is primed to extend New York’s current four-game losing skid.

Eovaldi, recently named AL Pitcher of the Month, enters the matchup with a sparkling 1.49 ERA and a perfect 5-0 record in July. He’ll be opposed by Yankees rookie Will Warren, who has shown consistency in recent outings but is still adjusting to big-league rotations.

Eovaldi’s Dominance Continues

Eovaldi (9-3, 1.49 ERA) has been nearly untouchable, especially over the past month. In five July starts, he surrendered just three total runs — two of them earned — and struck out 30 in 30 2/3 innings.

The Rangers right-hander reached a personal milestone last time out, earning his 100th career win in a 4-1 victory over the Angels. Perhaps most impressively, his ERA dropped from 1.87 to 1.49 during the month, the lowest among qualified AL starters.

“He’s got that maniacal focus, the kind of guy you want on the mound when it matters,” manager Bruce Bochy said.

Though Eovaldi fell to the Yankees back in May — a narrow 1-0 loss — he only allowed one run across six innings. In 23 career appearances vs. New York, he holds a 3.44 ERA and has recorded 108 strikeouts, more than against any other MLB opponent.

Yankees Hand Ball to Rookie Will Warren

While Eovaldi thrives, the Yankees’ offense has stalled, and Tuesday’s starter Will Warren (6-5, 4.64 ERA) will try to reverse their fortunes. The 26-year-old righty has turned in three straight no-decisions, including a solid effort against Tampa Bay where he went six innings and allowed just one run.

Warren has been a workhorse for New York, nearing his 2024 innings total (110.2) and showing improved control and poise. The biggest change? Learning how to bounce back faster.

“Last year I never really got my feet under me. This year I’ve built a routine,” Warren said.

He’s faced the Rangers once before — back in May — and shined in 5 2/3 scoreless innings, striking out 10 in a 5-2 Yankees win. He’ll need a repeat of that performance to stop the bleeding.

Josh Jung Walk-Off Lifts Rangers in Opener

The Rangers took the series opener on Monday night in dramatic fashion, as Josh Jung blasted a three-run walk-off homer in the bottom of the 10th to seal an 8-5 win. It was a much-needed jolt for a Rangers squad trying to climb back into the AL playoff picture.

The win snapped a brief skid and marked their second victory in three games. Meanwhile, the Yankees have now lost four straight and continue to struggle on the road, especially late in games.

The Lean

The Rangers are favored with a moneyline of -136 against the Yankees at +117. The Rangers have a strong pitching staff, ranking first in ERA and batting average against. The model projects the Rangers to win with a score of 5-3, making them a solid pick for the moneyline.

The total for the game is set at 8.5 runs, with the over at -102 and the under at -122. Given the Rangers’ top-ranked pitching and the Yankees’ lower-ranked hitting, the model projects a total score of 8 runs. This suggests taking the under is a reasonable choice.
