Yankees vs. Rangers prediction: Odds, recent stats, trends, and best bets for April 29

The New York Yankees (20-10) continue their assault on the state of Texas with Game 3 of their series against the Rangers (14-16). Last night, Aaron Judge went yard last night for the 12 th time this season and Cam Schlittler struck out eight over six shutout innings to earn his fourth win of the season. David Bednar struggled in the ninth to make it a bit of a sweat, but the Yankees won, 3-2 and are now 4-1 on their six-game swing through the Lone Star State.

Rookie right‑hander Elmer Rodríguez makes his MLB debut this afternoon for the Yankees after dominating Triple‑A with a 1. 27 ERA. No question the rookie hopes the Yankees’ power surge continues.

The Bronx Bombers have hit a major league-leading 48 home runs this season. Texas, meanwhile, is trying to halt a three‑game home losing streak and at the same time salvage the final game of this series, but their starter, veteran Nathan Eovaldi , has allowed nine home runs already this season and his ERA is a fat 5. 79 in just six starts.

Offensively, Brandon Nimmo and Josh Jung have been two of the few bright spots for the Rangers. The Texas team batting average is just . 235.
