Texas at New York

The Texas Rangers and the New York Yankees have split the first two in this series, and the Wednesday matinee at the Stadium will decide who takes this series. The Rangers, despite the win last night, have struggled at the Stadium to a 2-9 mark in their last 11 here. Neither Texas starter Derek Holland, or Yankees starter Phil Hughes have been doing well over the last month or so, but the devil is in the details here. Hughes has a pedigree both at home and vs. the Rangers. Hughes is 2-1 with a 2.00 ERA against Texas with a WHIP of 0.67 in four appearances, three of which were starts. The Yankees are impressive at home behind Hughes where they are 41-18 in his last 59 here. This is a good situation for New York and have value as a home dog. Play on New York.
