Texas @ New York picks

Rodon has a 3.17 ERA with an xERA of 2.88 through 10 starts. The lefty has allowed fewer than 1.5 earned runs in four of his last six starts, posting a 1.72 ERA over that span. There will be a stiff 16 mph wind blowing towards the infield tonight and Texas has struggled at the dish. The Rangers are 26th in the majors in OPS (.661) with that dropping to .626 against southpaws. They are also 26th in runs per game (3.42) while plating just 2.83 runs per game over the last week.

With Gerrit Cole sidelined due to injury, others have needed to step up in the Yankees rotation. Carlos Rodon has been one of those starters to do so. The left-hander is 5-3 with a 3.17 ERA in 10 appearances, striking out 72 in 59 2/3 innings of work while walking only 24. Rodon is thriving in May. Across three starts this month, he’s only given up five earned runs while compiling a 2.55 ERA. The southpaw has surrendered Under 1.5 earned in four of his last six outings and two of his last three.
