Tonight kicks off an eleven game homestand, eight of which are against teams that are comfortably below .500. This is a great opportunity for the Yankees to put some distance between themselves and the A’s, which would solicit a much needed sigh of relief. Seeing them take care of business against the rebuilding White Sox was great – but they have to continue to beat-up on the bad teams.
The Rangers are up first.
The Last Time They Met
The Yankees visited Texas back in May, and they dropped two of three. Poor pitching was the issue back then, as the staff allowed seven home runs and 23 runs to the last-place Rangers.
