1 Pick (4 Units).

12:35PM EST: Yankees -1.5 +145 (4 Units).

LP: C. Rodon (NYY).

TEX SP Nathan Eovaldi has a 1.61 ERA through 10 starts but an xERA of 3.19. If there's a spot for him to underperform it's here. The Yankees have a .294 BA, .307 xBA, .324 wOBA, .360 xwOBA. and a .501 xSLG in 132 career plate appearances against Eovaldi. He's also had some struggles as a visitor at Yankees stadium. Going back his last 4 visits, he's allowed 3 ER on 3 IP, 2 ER on 5.2 IP, 3 ER on 5 IP, and 3 ER on 4.1 IP. He can still turn in a quality start and we'll be in a decent spot. NYY SP Carlos Rodon has a 3.17 ERA and a 2.88 xERA. He has a 3.14 ERA through 5 Home Starts and had a 3.11 ERA in 14 Home starts for the Yankees last season. The Rangers have a .197 BA, .198 xBA, .252 wOBA and xWOBA, and .331 xSLG in 70 career plate appearances vs Rodon. The Rangers are 21st in BA and 22nd in OPS vs LHP. Texas has also scored a combined 17 runs in their last 6 games. The Yankees bullpen is still in good shape. Closer Luke Weaver has had to pitch each of the first 2 games, but he's thrown just 8 total pitches. He also had 3 days off before that so he's good to pitch again. Ian Hamilton is the only other Yankees reliever to pitch more than once the last 3 days.
