Rangers vs Yankees Prediction & Pick

The Yankees need a win in the worst way on Saturday, but they are being dealt a tough pitching matchup in Jon Gray, who has been stellar this season with a 6-2 record and a 2.96 ERA for the first place Rangers.

Gray has been even better on the road this season, with a 4-0 record and a 2.02 ERA away from Texas. However, he got absolutely shelled in his last start against the Toronto Blue Jays, surrendering 6 earned runs in just 2.1 innings pitched.

The struggling Yankees bats could be a good recipe for him to get back on track. Furthermore, Yankees starter Luis Severino hasn't found his groove yet after coming back from the IL, and a dangerous Rangers lineup could make that issues continue.

Final Score Prediction: Rangers: 5 | Yankees: 3

Rangers vs Yankees Best Bet

The Yankees supposed rookie phenom Anthony Volpe has struggled to start his MLB career, but he despite his low batting average, he has found ways to get on base with a good eye. He's also been a fantastic base stealer in those situations. He has 15 stolen bases this season and has yet to be caught stealing, a perfect record thus far.

If Volpe can get on base (he's been swinging the bat much better the last two weeks), and with the team struggling to plate runs, expect manager Aaron Boone to send Volpe to try and get him in scoring position quickly. And we know of he runs, chances are he's making it safely.

Bet: Anthony Volpe to Record a Stolen Base (+350)
