The Texas Rangers are rarely underdogs with the club holding a massive lead in the AL West, but they have dominated when being put in that position. The Rangers have won eight of their last nine games as underdogs – with the lone loss coming by just one run. Texas will be underdogs once again when they continue a four-game set with the New York Yankees Wednesday.
- The Rangers' lineup has a career .323 BA against Tanaka, but have only registered one extra-base hit.
- The OVER is 7-3 in the Yankees’ past 10 games.
- The Rangers have won the past four meetings with the Yankees.
Masahiro Tanaka – who will get the start for the Yankees – has been considerably worse in New York this season. Tanaka has a 4.59 ERA at home compared to a stellar 1.32 ERA in hostile territory. However, the Yankees are 6-2 in Tanaka’s eight home starts this season, thanks to the team averaging nearly five runs of support per game in those outings.
Nick Martinez will be making just his fifth appearance on the mound – and only his third start of the season – Wednesday. Martinez has allowed 12 hits and seven runs in his previous two starts this season, while walking more batters than he has K’ed.
