Looking for another series win at home against an AL West opponent, the Yankees will welcome the surprising Texas Rangers and their league-leading offense (6.09 runs per game) to the Bronx. With a 46-28 record, Bruce Bochy’s squad holds a commanding lead over the Houston Astros and Los Angeles Angels, each at least six games back in the loss column, and appear poised for their first postseason appearance since 2016 — the last time that Houston failed to win the AL West in a normal 162-game season.
Yankee fans are well aware of the power of this attack, led by the most menacing middle-infield combo in the bigs, in Corey Seager and Marcus Semien.
