Rangers vs Yankees

Bronx bats bank on bullpen edge to cash the ticket

Texas Rangers

Rangers (25-23) VS Yankees (27-19)

20 May 2025 | 7:05 PM ET | Yankee Stadium, Bronx, NY

New York Yankees
Moneyline Pick - New York Yankees (-190): B

New York enters this matchup with momentum from a recent run of success and a lineup that has been producing power numbers, while Texas tries to stop a stumble from starting amid ongoing injuries to key players. The Yankees’ offense has found ways to capitalize, and their bullpen has been especially reliable lately, providing late-inning security. Meanwhile, Texas faces a tough challenge with a starting pitcher who has struggled in this ballpark, and their lineup hasn’t been able to consistently generate runs.

Honestly, with the way New York is swinging the bats and how steady the bullpen has been, it makes sense to back the Yankees here even if you have to lay a little extra. It’s a solid play, maybe not the absolute best on the board, but definitely deserving of a B grade for value and probability.

Over/Under Pick - Over 9 (-110): B

New York brings a hot offense into this matchup, having gotten strong production from the top of the order during their recent run, while Texas has struggled to keep opponents off the board over its last several games. Both teams are missing some key arms, pushing more responsibility onto their lineups in a ballpark known for favoring hitters, especially with the wind conditions in play. Starting pitching on both sides has had some ups and downs in these matchups, so it sets up as a spot where early and mid-game scoring is likely.

Honestly, with the way these offenses are swinging and the bullpens a little thin, nine runs feels like a number that could get topped before the late innings even start. If you’re into betting totals, this one looks like a good shot for the over, making it a solid B-value play, especially with the conditions and recent trends pointing that way.

Spread Pick - Texas Rangers, +1.5 (-125): B

Texas enters this game looking to snap a short losing streak, but still brings some offensive firepower that matches up well against a New York pitching staff dealing with several injuries. The Yankees have found ways to win lately, but a thinned-out rotation and wind conditions that could favour the long ball make the extra 1.5 runs appealing for the Rangers. Both lineups have shown they can capitalize on mistakes, and Texas’ bullpen has actually performed better on the road, adding another layer of support.

Honestly, this feels like a spot where grabbing the run and a half with Texas makes sense, especially with the Yankees not quite at full strength and the conditions ripe for a close game. Sometimes you just want that bit of cushion, and in this matchup, it looks like the smart side.
