Yankees vs Rangers Model Projection
Score Projection: Yankees 4 - Rangers 2
Win Probability: Yankees 58%, Rangers 42%
This game could end up as a tight pitching duel, but the edge still belongs to New York. Schlittler has been one of the most effective starters in baseball through the first month, and his ability to limit base runners stands out against a Rangers lineup that has struggled to string hits together. While deGrom remains a high-end arm, the difference lies in offensive support. The Yankees' lineup is producing at a much higher level, leading the American League in power and run creation. I'll take the Yankees to win this game in Arlington to continue their hot streak.
