The Yankees (14-11) just lost a series in Minnesota, but at least they left the Twin Cities on a high note with a 12-6 offensive explosion on Wednesday. New York is hoping that success at the plate continues as their road trip moves on to Arlington to face the Rangers (14-10) who just got swept in Cincinnati.
Before Betting on Yankees vs Rangers
The last two weeks were supposed to be an opportunity for Texas to pad their first place lead in the AL West with 9 games against the Royals, A’s, and Reds. The Rangers managed to go 5-4 over that span which is good but not great – especially while giving up 19 runs in three games vs. the Reds.
Texas’ pitching struggles this week would normally be a reason to wager on the ‘over’ Thursday – especially against what is on paper a tough Yankees offense. New York had been held to 3 runs or less in 8 of 9 games prior to hanging a dozen on the Twins on Wednesday however. Plus, Gerrit Cole is on the bump for the Yankees and he’s started off 2023 with a 4-0 record and a dazzling 0.79 ERA.
The Rangers counter the Cole start with Andrew Heaney (2-1, 4.34 ERA) who has had his struggles in recent years but has looked sharp in allowing just 2 ER total over his last three starts. Heaney spent some time with the Yankees in 2021 posting a 7.32 ERA.

Yankees vs Rangers Prediction & Pick
Hard to wager against Cole right now and the Rangers used up a lot of bullpen arms while giving up over 6 runs/game in their three game sweep at Cincinnati. This one looks like Yankees big.
