MLB Odds: Yankees vs. Rangers prediction, odds and pick

Domingo German will start for the Yankees. Glenn Otto will take the ball for Texas. The game doesn't mean anything to the Yankee's. German has pitched 68 innings over the past two and a half months for a 3.31 ERA. Otto's ERA was over four runs in May, June, July, and September. Rangers won fewer than 70 games this season. They will play the American League Division Series next Tuesday, Oct. 11. Ron Marinaccio will miss the series. Aaron Boone wants to preserve his bullpen for that game.

Yankees have several days off before their first playoff game on Tuesday, Oct. 11. They can rest their starters on Thursday and throughout the weekend. Domingo German is not their best pitcher, but he should at least keep the team competitive into the sixth or seventh inning.

Aaron Judge hit home run No. 62. The Rangers are playing for their jobs. Glenn Otto is pitching for his job. The Yankees will be disappointed after Aaron Judge's record breaking home runs.

Yankees-Rangers is a game to avoid.

The final Yankees-Rangers prediction and pick is Rangers +1.5.
