Rangers Yankees Betting – Rangers Look To Flex Muscle Against Yankees In The Bronx
When the Texas Rangers met the New York Yankees for a three-game set in the Bronx in mid-April, reigning MVP Josh Hamilton watched from the sidelines with an injury as the pinstripes took two of three from the defending AL champions. With Hamilton back in the lineup the Rangers feel as though they are ready to exact some revenge and return the favor in a three-game set this week to build their lead in the AL West division.

Tuesday, 7:05 PM ETThere isn’t a better way to open a series between two playoff contenders than to have the two best pitchers for both teams on the mound in a crucial matchup. That will be the case when Yankees’ starter CC Sabathia throws the first pitch on Tuesday, when he will try to set the tone for the game against Texas starter Alexei Ogando. Sabathia allowed six earned runs in just over six innings of work in a loss to the Boston Red Sox the last time that he was on the mound, and will need to be much better to give New York a chance against Ogando. The Rangers’ ace is perfect so far this season with seven wins and a 2.10 ERA, and has allowed just one earned run in each of his last two sports betting starts.

The same way that the Rangers’ offense came alive in the opener to keep Ogando perfect, they will do it again in the second game to continue to add to Derek Holland’s win column. Despite a pedestrian 4.41 ERA Holland is 5-1 on the season, and should have the edge over Ivan Nova. Nova has looked very good in his past two starts and should be due for a loss, and while Texas should take it look for the over as the solid sports betting bonus option as well with both offenses taking advantage of a weaker pitching matchup.MLB Betting Pick: Texas Rangers

The Yankees still aren’t sure who they will go with for Thursday’s contest, but whoever it is he will need to have a big game to prevent the sweep. New York has hovered around the .500 mark through their past ten games, and in order to avoid falling even further behind the Boston Red Sox for the division lead in the AL East they will need a solid effort from on the mound. CJ Wilson will get the call for Texas, and he has looked very good of late with consecutive wins in which he has allowed three runs combined. Still, the Yankees are too good and too proud to be swept at home by the defending AL champions, and they will answer by solving Wilson early on to avoid the MLB betting sweep.
