New York Spankmees ML+110 bet365 @ Texas Rangers * 8:05 pm
Last Meeting ( Aug 4, 2025 ) NY Yankees 5, Texas 8
Nathan Eovaldi, the American League pitcher of the month for July, will take the ball for the Texas Rangers against the New York Yankees on Tuesday night in the second contest of a three-game set in Arlington, Texas.
Rookie Will Warren (6-5, 4.64 ERA) will start for the Yankees in a battle of right-handers.
The Rangers captured the series opener on Monday, beating the Yankees 8-5 when Josh Jung ripped a two-out, three-run homer in the 10th inning. Texas has won two of its past three games while the Yankees have dropped four straight.
New York is hoping for a lift from two-time AL MVP Aaron Judge, activated from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday. Expected to DH while coming back from a flexor strain in his right elbow, Judge leads the majors with a .342 batting average and ranks second in the AL in home runs (37) and RBIs (85).
Eovaldi (9-3, 1.49 ERA) won all five of his starts in July while lowering his ERA from 1.87 to 1.49. He allowed just three runs (two earned) and struck out 30 batters in 30 2/3 innings, amassing a minuscule 0.59 ERA and ending the month with his 100th career victory with a win over the Los Angeles Angels in Anaheim, Calif., on Wednesday.
Eovaldi hasn't lost a decision since May 22, when he allowed just one run on five hits and a walk over six innings in a 1-0 loss to the Yankees in New York. That setback dropped him to 5-6 in 23 appearances (20 starts) versus the Yankees, with an ERA of 3.44 in 117 2/3 innings.
Eovaldi has struck out 108 Yankees' batters in his career, his most against any team.
Warren has one career outing against the Rangers, pitching 5 2/3 scoreless innings while allowing five hits and a walk and striking out 10 in a 5-2 victory over Texas on May 20 in the Bronx.
