MLB Betting Trends

New York

The Yankees are 4-1 in their last five Sunday games. New York is 1-4 in its last five road games. 

Texas

The Rangers are 1-4 in the last five Lynn home starts. Texas is 3-10 in its last 13 games overall.

Prediction:

New York has nothing to play for here other than rounding into playoff form I suppose. After Green is done, Masahiro Tanaka is expected to be the bulk reliever. He's had an inconsistent season, but has mostly been decent when not facing the Red Sox. But the Rangers have been good at home this season and Lynn is capable of pitching shutdown baseball. Lynn also is often at his best against power hitters who he challenges with power of his own. I'm going to take Texas here as the Yankees seem to be ready to get this whole regular season thing over with.
