Yankees vs Rangers MLB Betting Preview
New York Yankees Betting Preview: Hot Over Last 10
The Yankees are currently in first place in the AL East with an 18-10 overall record, and they'll start this three-game set from Arlington with Max Fried on the hill.
New York is 8-2 in its last 10 games, outscoring its opponents by 30 runs.
However, the Yankees are just 2-6 in games decided by one run, so the hope from their end is that they'll cover this -1.5 spread.
Texas Rangers Betting Preview: Leiter Taking Hill
Texas sits at just .500 so far this season, but it's just one game back of the Athletics atop the AL West.
Jack Leiter is taking the bump for the Rangers, as they look to beef up their record of 5-5 in the last 10 games.
Texas is also just 6-6 in home games this season, so something has to give for the Rangers in this spot.

Evan Abrams has a system called "Evan Abrams / Bet Labs – Silent Sharp Unders" that has a 7% all-time return on investment (ROI).
