Texas Rangers vs NY Yankees Prediction

I’m on the Yankees here. I know the Rangers are on a nice run and it feels like they need this one a heck of a lot more than New York does, but the Rangers are taking a big step up in class here and are up against one of the best of the bunch in the Yankees’ rotation. Cole has started to find himself again and I think he can take down the Rangers in this one to keep the ball rolling. Give me the Yankees in this one.
