MLB Betting Trends

Texas

The Rangers are 9-4 in their last 13 games overall. Texas is 7-4 in its last 11 meetings in New York.

New York

The Yankees are 58-19 in their last 77 home games. The under is 9-2 in the last 11 Yankees games on Fridays. 

Prediction:

New York is dominant at home and has hitters such as Stanton who crush lefties. Tanaka has the ability to shut down any offense when he is on. I'm thinking the Yankees will win another game by multiple runs as they are playing fantastic baseball at the moment.
