Why you should root for the Yankees
New York is expected to send right-hander Jameson Taillon (14-5, 3.83 ERA) to the mound. Taillon has won three of his last four decisions, including a 5-2 victory in Toronto on Sept. 27. He struck out seven and didn’t walk a batter. In two career starts against Texas, Taillon is 1-0 with eight strikeouts.
Offensively, New York has been led by Judge, who leads the team in batting average at .311. In addition to his 61 homers, he has 130 RBI and 131 runs scored. Judge had an 11-game hitting streak from early September through the middle of the month. He entered the series hitting .294 against Texas in 24 career games, including eight homers and 16 RBI.
Why you should support Rangers
With nothing to play for, Texas will look to finish the season on a high note. Expected to take the hill for the Rangers will be right-hander Jon Gray (7-7, 3.93 ERA). Gray is looking for his first win since beating the Miami Marlins 8-0 on July 21st. He gave up a season-high six in his final start Thursday in a 10-9 loss at Seattle. Prior to that game, he had not allowed more than three runs in his last four appearances, including zero in a no-decision against the Cleveland Guardians on September 23rd.
Helping the Texas offense is first baseman Nathaniel Lowe, who is hitting .300 in 154 games played this season. He has 27 homers, 76 RBIs and 73 runs scored. He has hit safely in six of his last eight games. Entering the series, Lowe had two doubles and two homers with four RBIs in 16 games against New York.
