Gerrit Cole (5-3, 3.86 ERA) vs. Andrew Heaney (4-13, 3.95 ERA)
Pitching for the Yankees, Gerrit Cole has a number of 5-3 and an ERA of 3.86 as he comes to this game. Cole is famous for his amount of strikeouts and calm temperament, something that will help in direction of the Yankees. He must find a way to set the tone and not allow any of his easy priced home runs early in the game, a stat that might worry most players looking at his 11 bombs allowed this season.
On the other hand, Andrew Heaney of the Rangers takes the pitch with a less impressive 4-13 record and a 3.95 ERA. Even though Andrew Heaney has been a phenomenon in recent weeks, his win-loss record is quite disappointing. In terms of gains and losses, the statistics for Heaney are as follows, 133 k’s and 37 walks showing though the win-loss ratio is challenging, Heaney is still okay in this case. Likewise, like Cole, Andrew Heaney is prone to giving up home runs where he has given up 18 this season.
In a showdown between two fired-up hurlers, one suspects that the result may well come down to which of the two pitchers manages to keep the ball in the park and, indeed, away from lusting batters with ravenous appetites for high slugging exploits. In relief, both of them will be required to pitch with several entering the threatening zone, using deliberate tactics to reduce the gravity of the situation.
Analyzing the Yankees’ Offensive Might
The Yankee batting order has a mean of 209 home runs this season complimented by a sprawling .440 slugging percentage and a .251 batting average. Their consistency in making contact has led them to score scenarios in the games, manifesting itself in an impressive .334 on-base average. Such capabilities in scoring make them dangerous adversaries, more so to a pitcher such as Heaney, whose season has only been full of HRs allowed.
Assessing the Rangers’ Home Field Advantage
The Rangers have been consistent at home winning 5 of their last 7 games SU at Globe Life Field, even though they have a much weaker record overall. The batting average is .238 with a slugging percentage of .377, which is a bit lower than that of the Yankees, but their place lots are strategic and they are able to hit a lot at home which may be needed in this clash.
New York Yankees Betting Trends
The Yankees have faced a downturn with a current record of 1-4 SU over their last five games which should raise alarm bells for the bettors. However, their previous win-loss record against the Rangers over the last five meetings of 4-1 SU predicts otherwise. It is interesting to note that such games tend to go UNDER on the road, thus could affect though total betting.
Texas Rangers Betting Trends
The team Rangers has been winning lately 5-1 in their last six games. They have a recent trend of UNDER when playing against the Yankees. That should be a safe bet despite the fact that both teams’ starting pitchers have a tendency to allow quite a number of home runs. Their strong home records within Eastern teams, which has an OVER in 10 of the last 12 games, poses a complex gamble for total runs bettors.
New York Yankees vs. Texas Rangers Betting Previews
Analyzing the present and past configurations, it seems that there might not be a lot of goals in this match, which gives some value to assertions regarding the total going UNDER. It can even be recalled that the Yankees make safer moneyline picks even in their recent stumbles as Cole throws, and they have much better lineups. How about prop bets? It may be worth paying attention to prop bets on pitcher strikeout totals, given their ability to strike people out.
Most likely, however, the Yankees will win this game, along with probably being able to cover the spread if Cole lives up to the expectations. This, however, must be waited for the bettors that want thorough analysis and more free MLB previews as this will surely conclude when the pre-game lineup announcements and pitcher warm-ups are done.
Score Prediction: New York Yankees 4, Texas Rangers 2.
