New York Yankees at Texas Rangers MLB Prediction: In Sunday’s culminating game against the LA Angels, one of the newest Yankees became a hero, after having a career day. Thanks to the great play of OF Xavier Nady and his 6-RBI day, the New York Yankees were able to split a 4-game series against the best and hottest team in baseball (LA Angels: 69-42; MLB Best). Tonight, the Bombers head to the Lone Star State in what promises to be a pitching-dandy of an opener against the Texas Rangers. At SBGglobal.com the New York Yankees are -160 betting odds favorites against the Texas Rangers (+142) in game 1 (8:05 PM ET).  With the development of Tropical Storm Edouard, and the possibility of it becoming a hurricane (before making landfall Tuesday in Texas), game 2 of this series is a huge question mark. Game 1 will feature a pitching match up between two of the most underrated and unknown pitchers in all of baseball, RHP Joba Chamberlain (4-3, 2.24 ERA, in 11 starts) vs. RHP Vicente Padilla (12-5, 4.52 ERA, in 21 starts). The OVER/UNDER for this New York Yankees at Texas Rangers MLB Prediction has been set at combined total of 9½ runs. The 22-year-old, Joba Chamberlain, is currently in his 1st year as a starter for NY, while the 30-year-old Padilla is already in his 9th year in the majors. Chamberlain was born in Lincoln, Nebraska, and was drafted 41st overall by the New York Yankees (out of the University of Nebraska) in 2006. Vicente Padilla was born in Chinandega, Nicaragua and was scouted and signed by the Arizona Diamondbacks in 1999. Vicente was one of the players involved in the trade that sent Curt Schilling from the Philadelphia Phillies to the Arizona Diamondbacks. He was selected as an All-Star in 2002, and was the last pitcher to take the mound for the NL in the now infamous All-Star game, which culminated in a tie. In that 2002 All-Star game, “Chente” pitched 2.0 innings of hitless-ball (0 H, 1 BB, 0 K).
