Key Storylines
Pitching Matchup
Yankees’ left-hander Carlos Rodón will take the mound for the Yankees. Rodon is 11-7 and has a 3.34 ERA in 2025. He will go up against Rangers’ right-hander Jack Leiter. Leiter is 7-6 and has a 4.10 ERA. Rodón has been a consistent performer for New York and is averaging over a strikeout per inning this year. Leiter has been good in his own right but is more vulnerable to the occasional big inning.
Key Players
- Aaron Judge (Yankees): Judge is expected to serve as the designated hitter after returning from an elbow injury. Judge went 0-3 with two strikeouts in his first game back on Tuesday night.
- Corey Seager (Rangers): Seager continues to be a key offensive contributor for the Rangers. He leads the Rangers with 16 home runs on the year.
Recent Team Streaks
- Yankees: New York has struggled lately. They have lost five games in a row and are now six games back of first place in the AL East.
- Rangers: Texas has won two games in a row and three of their last four.

Final Thoughts
The return of Aaron Judge provides a significant boost to the Yankees’ lineup. And with Carlos Rodón on the mound, I think the Yankees also have the pitching advantage in this matchup. I project a two-run win for the Yankees in this game and they should get the job done on the moneyline on Wednesday afternoon.
