Action Network • • sports
Key Points:
- The New York Yankees (25-12) will host the Texas Rangers (17-19) on May 7, 2026, with the first pitch scheduled for 12:35 p.m. EDT at Yankee Stadium and broadcast on RSN.
- The Yankees are favored to win with a moneyline of -162 and a run line of -1.5 (+130), while the Rangers are +136 on the moneyline and +1.5 (-156); the over/under is set at 8.5 runs.
- Yankees pitcher Ryan Weathers has been impressive this season with a 3.03 ERA and a career-best strikeout rate, benefiting from adjustments in his pitch mix, while Rangers’ MacKenzie Gore has struggled with command and consistency.
- The Rangers have one of the weakest offenses in MLB, ranking 28th in runs scored, with key players like Corey Seager and young talents underperforming, while Josh Jung stands out but cannot carry the team alone.
- The recommended bet is for the Yankees to cover the first five innings run line (-0.5) due to their strong pitching and the Rangers' poor performance against left-handed pitchers like Weathers, who has been effective in limiting runs early in games.
