Team Analysis

New York Yankees

The New York Yankees have been struggling recently, going 0-5 in their last 5 games. While they’ve averaged 4.0 runs per game in this stretch, their inability to come out on top shows a lack of execution in crucial moments. However, with standouts like Aaron Judge and Cody Bellinger, the Yankees still boast significant offensive firepower that could potentially turn the tide in their favor.

On the road, the Yankees have a less impressive record of 26-32. Their inconsistent performance away from home is a concern heading into this game. However, given the quality of their lineup, it wouldn’t be surprising to see them flip the script and put up a strong performance against the Rangers.

• Batting Average: 0.252
• Total Runs Scored: 584
• Home Runs: 181
• OPS: 0.781
• ERA: 4.08

The New York Yankees are well-positioned to handle business.
