Aaron Judge and the New York Yankees (28-19) face a stern test Wednesday when Jacob deGrom takes the hill for the Texas Rangers (25-24) in the Bronx. New York leads the AL in runs scored, but the two-time Cy Young Award winner will be up to the task of keeping the Bombers off the basepaths. First pitch at Yankee Stadium is scheduled for 7:05 p.m. ET.

In a contrast of styles from the flamethrowing deGrom, Ryan Yarborough gets the ball for the Yankees. Forced into the rotation due to injuries and the release of Carlos Carrasco, the soft-tossing southpaw has allowed three runs in two starts after making his first eight appearances in relief. Overall, he's 1-0 with a 3.70 ERA. As for deGrom, he's 4-1 with a 2.29 ERA. At DraftKings Sportsbook, Yarborough is set at 3.5 strikeouts (Over +140, Under -185) while deGrom is set at 6.5 (Over -115, Under -115).

Judge is the favorite to hit a home run at +275, followed by Rangers outfielders Adolis Garcia (+475) and Wyatt Langford (+500). Yankees first baseman Ben Rice, Rangers first baseman Jake Burger and Yankees outfielder Trent Grisham are each +550 to go deep.

The Yankees are -115 home favorites (wager $115 to win $100) on the money line in the latest SportsLine consensus odds, while the Rangers are -104 (wager $104 to win $100) underdogs.
