Take the Rangers as the big road dog this afternoon over the Yankees.
I know the Yankees lineup is one of the most formidable in all of baseball, and it’s even more amplified playing in the sandbox that is the new Yankees Stadium. But Brandon McCarthy and the Rangers are doing pretty well themselves and this price is way too high with Chien-Ming Wang going for the pinstripes.
McCarthy is 5-2 on the year with a 4.35 ERA. The right-hander is 2-1 with a 1.64 ERA over his last three starts.
Wang started the year by getting lit up like a Christmas Tree. His recent return to the roster included a three-inning scoreless stint out of the bullpen, but until I see something more I’m not going to back him at this steep of a price.
The Rangers have enough bats in the lineup to make things miserable for Wang, so I’m not worried about their offensive production at all.
Take the Rangers as the live dog as they grab the road win.
