The New York Yankees (60-52) face the Texas Rangers (58-55) in the opener of a 3-game set Monday. First pitch from Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, is set for 8:05 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s MLB odds around the Yankees vs. Rangers odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Yankees lead 3-0

The Yankees were swept in Miami over the weekend and have fallen 4 1/2 games out in the AL East. They lost 13-12, 2-0 and 7-3. 2B Jazz Chisholm went 2-for-4 with his 19th homer of the season Sunday. But this is clearly a different team without OF Aaron Judge (elbow). They’re 4-6 over the last 10 games.

The Rangers dropped 3 of 4 games at the Seattle Mariners over the weekend. They’re now 2-5 in the last 7 games. SS Corey Seager (16th) and DH Adolis Garcia (16th) each homered Sunday in the 5-4 loss. The Rangers sit 4 1/2 out of the AL West and 2 games out of a Wild Card.

Rangers 5, Yankees 4

The Yankees are just 26-30 on the road, and the Rangers are great at home at 34-20. Corbin has been a pleasant surprise. After toting one of the worst contracts in baseball, he has made an adjustment. He hasn’t had an ERA under 4 this decade, but his 88.5 MPH exit velocity is the lowest of his career.

With the way the Yanks are struggling and the price, give me the RANGERS (+118).

PASS and stick to the value on the ML.

It’s slated to be 88 degrees with a 6-mph wind blowing out to right-center. The Yankees are 6-3-1 O/U in their last 10, and the Rangers are 7-2-1.

Give me the OVER 7.5 (-110).
