Preview of Yankees vs Rangers Prediction
The Rangers send Nathan Eovaldi to the mound—he’s recorded the lowest ERA among qualified starters this season (~1.49), earned AL Pitcher of the Month honors in July, and posted a dominant outing against New York earlier in the year.
On the Yankees side, Will Warren is on the bump. He’s settled in nicely of late, posting a 3.42 ERA across his last five starts, often pitching into the sixth amid bullpen concerns.
A major storyline: Aaron Judge returns from a right elbow flexor strain and hits as DH—he enters the game leading MLB in batting average (.342), OBP (.449), slugging (.711), OPS (1.160), home runs (37), and 85 RBIs. His return limits Giancarlo Stanton’s role to pinch-hit at best.
In the broader context, the Yankees have dropped five straight and are struggling in one-run and extra‑inning games. Eovaldi’s ceiling against New York is notably high; he has limited them in past meetings and is likely to challenge the Yankees’ bats once again.
