We like the home team in this game. It’s not because of a lack of respect for Yankee starter Masahiro who as we noted has pitched consistently well this season with nine Q starts in 13 outings. It’s that the value is there for the Rangers. Colby Lewis has had one poor performance in his last 1o starts that skews his overall stats line allowing 10 runs in four innings at home to the Angels earlier this month. Excluding that he’s given his team a solid chance to win nine of his last 10 getting the Q start in all nine outings. He’s pitched well against the Yankees with the Rangers winning four of his last five starts against New York and Lewis has held the active roster to a lifetime batting average of .209.
