Texas Rangers at New York Yankees Prediction

Heading into this matchup, there isn’t a lot of value taking New York on the moneyline at -200. Instead, I recommend taking the over, as the Yankees offense is ranked 5th in scoring at 4.76 runs per game, but unlike previous seasons, they aren’t dependent on the long ball as they are 4th in batting average. Look for a big scoring night from New York to help carry this game over 8 runs.
