Yankees vs. Rangers odds, lines: Proven model reveals MLB picks for June 23, 2023 matchup

Two teams currently in MLB playoff position will begin a three-game series on Friday in The Bronx. The New York Yankees (41-34), who currently occupy a wild card spot, will host the AL East-leading Texas Rangers (46-28). Dane Dunning (6-1, 2.78 ERA) will get the start for Texas, and he'll take on Clarke Schmidt (2-6, 4.65) of New York. The Rangers have won the last three meetings between these teams, including a dominant 15-2 victory in their last matchup on April 30.

The game is slated to begin at 7:05 p.m. ET from Yankee Stadium. Texas is listed as the -115 (risk $115 to win $100) favorite on the money line in the latest Yankees vs. Rangers odds from Caesars Sportsbook. The Yankees are -105 underdogs, and the over/under for total runs scored is 8.5. (see the latest lines for every game on our MLB odds page).

Before making any Rangers vs. Yankees picks, you NEED to see the latest MLB predictions from the SportsLine Projection Model. 

The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every MLB game 10,000 times. It went 331-285 on top-rated MLB money-line picks (+357) over the past two seasons. It has opened the 2023 MLB season on a 35-26 roll on all-top rated MLB picks. Anybody who has followed it has seen profitable returns!

The model knows that the Yankees are pitching well this season, which has somewhat masked their shortcomings at the plate. New York's team ERA of 3.76 is fourth-best in the American League, and the bullpen has been lights out for the club. The Yankees' relievers have posted a 2.91 ERA which is not only the best in the AL, but it's the best in all of MLB. Probable starter Schmidt has overcome a rough start of the year to be one of New York's most consistent arms. He had a 6.30 ERA through his first nine starts but has posted a 2.56 ERA over his last six starts, not giving up more than three earned runs in any of those six starts.

The model also knows that Texas' offense is the best in baseball. The Rangers lead MLB in runs scored, batting average and on-base percentage as they're getting contributions from up and down the lineup. Marcus Semien (61 runs), Adolis Garcia (54) and Josh Jung (51) rank first, second and third in runs scored in the AL. Meanwhile, Corey Seager is hitting .358 on the season which trails only Luis Arraez in all of baseball.

Now, it has set its sights on Yankees vs. Rangers. We can tell you the model is leaning Over on the run total, and it also says one side of the money line has ALL the value! You ABSOLUTELY need to see it before locking in any MLB picks.
