Fixture: Texas @ New York Yankees
Time/Date: 1:05 PM ET, June 27, 2013
Pick: New York Yankees
Odds: +115 (2.15 in decimal odds) @ Pinnacle

This will be the final game of 3 game series played in New York. Yankees won 4-3 on Tuesday and Texas won 8-5 last night.

Yankees are second in American League East with 42-35 record. Texas is leading American League West with 45-33 record.

Derek Holland will be starting for Texas today. He is 5-4, 3.43 ERA after 15 starts this season. Holland is winless throughout June going 0-2, 5.40 ERA in last 4 starts. Holland doesn't have a good record against the Yankees either, he is 0-5, 8.85 ERA in 7 starts and 1 relief appearance against them, including 0-3, 7.77 ERA in 4 starts in New York. Holland has allowed 11 home runs in 39.2 innings against the Yankees. Yankees second baseman Robinson Cano is 7-for-19 (.368) with a home run, triple and double against Holland.

New York Yankees are sending out Phil Hughes, who is 3-6, 5.09 ERA in 14 starts in 2013. Although he hasn't been very good pitching at home lately (0-3, 13.91 ERA in last 3 home starts) Yankees are 41-18 in Hughes' last 59 home starts. He will be pitching on 7 days rest.

Yankees outfielder Ichiro Suzuki is batting .373 with 3 home runs and 7 RBI's over his last 13 games. Suzuki is 9 for 33 against Holland and he has homered in both games of this series.

Texas is 3-12 in its last 15 games at Yankee Stadium, they haven't won a series there since Aug. 25-27, 2009 and I expect them to lose today.
