Scheduled for 7:00pm start time, the New York Yankees and Texas Rangers will play the opening game of their series tonight, in Major League Baseball.  The Yankees listed as a big favorite in the odds for the game

The Texas Rangers haven't been successful at really anything this season, on the other hand,  The New York Yankees, are looking to stay alive in the American League Wild Card standings.

Far away to the top team standings are The Los Angeles Angels, already having won 59 games. But with the expansion to a couple of teams, we see Seattle has 52 victories on the year and the Yankees having 50.

The Yankees will send youngster Shane Greene to the mound, having beaten both Cleveland and Baltimore in his starts this month. He has given the Yankees a young guy they can give the ball to without worrying about him throwing strikes or lasting a decent amount of time in a game, having a guy like Greene to eat innings and actually get wins is a major plus for New York.

Texas, have lost two in a row. They are sending Miles Mikolas to the mound. The Rangers are also battling problems with injuries to their pitching staff and Mikolas hasn't really been able to find his footing yet.

The Rangers are just 4-24 dating back to June 17. They have had guys in and out of the lineup all season .

New York has been up and down at Yankee Stadium this season, but as bad as Texas has been the past month they are impossible to back in this situation.
