New York

They come into Monday on a two game losing streak to those same Jays who they are now looking up at in the standings. Lucky for them a trip down to Texas is not all that daunting this season, in fact they just took 3 of 4 against the Rangers last week in the Bronx.

This is a far from great team but they have shown resiliency throughout the season.

I feel like whenever I write about the Yankees David Phelps is on the mound. Each time I am critical and over the last month he has definitely made me eat it a little bit.

In 7 of his last 8 starts he has given up 2ER or less, helping the Yankees to magically stay in the race.

If you look closely at his splits you will see that most of his truly bad games have been on the road where his ERA is more than 2 runs higher.

Texas

The Rangers continue to own last place in the AL Central.

They have take just one game in each series since the All-Star break, which has prevented a lengthy losing streak but this team is broken. Last week they sold off Joakim Soria and with the deadline creeping up quickly there is intrigue as to whether the likes of Alex Rios and even Adrian Beltre will be with the club much longer.

If those players do move this team will get a lot worse, especially on the offensive side of things.

Yu Darvish continues to be the best thing about this Texas Rangers team. When he is on the mound he can dominate any lineup but his last starts was against the Yankees and it was not all that inspiring.

Overall his numbers are better at home but when you look at his dominating performances you can see they are spread out pretty evenly.

You hate to bet against him but there will almost always be value on the other side.

I think the Rangers run of taking the first game of series will continue. It helps to have Darvish on the mound and that the Yankees should be feeling a bit beat up after losing the last two to the Jays over the weekend.

This is just not a good spot to bet NYY but there is not a ton of value on Texas either.

Total prediction: Under
Score prediction: Texas 4 – New York 2
