Texas Rangers
Jurado was decent in his third start of the season as he was able to pick up his second win of his career in an 11-3 victory over the Baltimore Orioles.
He went five innings giving up six hits and two earned runs while he struck out three and walked two.
In a short 15.2 innings of work this season, Jurado owns a low strikeout rate (4.02 K/9), a solid walk rate (2.87 BB/9), a solid home run rate (0.57 HR/9), but could work on stranding base runners (68.2% LOB%).
The end-result is a moderate 4.02 ERA to go with a similar 4.05 FIP.

Texas has been playing winning baseball in the past week winning four of their six contests.
During that span their lineup has been smashing the ball slashing .277/.376/.502 to go with 25 extra-base hits and 49 RBI.
New York Yankees
Happ was solid in his first start as a Yankee as he was able to put in a quality start while picking up his 11th win of the season as they took down Kansas City 6-3.
He went six innings giving up three hits, one earned run, and one home run while he struck out two and walked one.
In 120.0 innings this season, the lefty owns an excellent strikeout (9.90 K/9) to walk rate (2.70 BB/9), but needs to work on limiting the long ball (1.35 HR/9) and stranding base runners (68.8% LOB%).
The end-result is a moderate 4.05 ERA and a slightly lower 3.93 FIP.
New York has been playing uncharacteristic baseball in the past week only winning two of their seven contests.
During that span their lineup is only slashing .201/.277/.373 to go with 20 extra-base hits and 27 RBI.

Free Texas Rangers vs. New York Yankees MLB Prediction: New York edges out Texas at home
4* Free MLB Betting Pick: Rangers +1.5
I expect Jurado to hang in their for the first couple of frames before New York’s slumping lineup catches on to him.
However, Texas’ hot lineup hits better against lefties and should at the least keep this outing close.
Take the extra points and back the team with the hotter lineup.
