As is usually the case the Texas Rangers are half a team. Specifically, a lack of quality pitching is the lead culprit to their playoff demise. Surprisingly enough Texas has had good enough hitting to become an unexpected MLB betting value. Contrarily the Rangers bring far better board prices due to their lack of public appeal. By contrast, the Yankees have been one of the most profitable teams on the board. New York started off in the black and has never let up. But starting pitching remains a potential problem come playoff time. Still, the Yanks remain World Series chalks.
