Texas Rangers (-115 Total At 7.5) vs New York Yankees
Yu Darvish vs David Phelps
The Rangers are way out of the race while the Yankees are still in it. Darvish had some rough outings of late but did bounce back in his last start vs the Jays and he has owned the Yanks in 3 career starts vs them.
Texas has been struggling offensively all year and Phelps does come in pitching solidly of late. Andy was looking to play the Yanks, but only as a dog. He probably won't be on the game but does have a lean to the Yankees.
Darvish is struggling, but it may not be due to arm troubles like it was with Masahiro Tanaka. Davrish is still striking batters out which means he stills has good stuff and is healthy.
Andy feels that some teams (like the Mets) should start using a 6 man rotation. That would ease up on arm use and give these starters an extra days rest. That could also cut down on the alarming rate of injuries to pitchers.
