Maybe the Texas Rangers just need a day of in New York. Maybe that will help a flagging offense.

The Rangers (16-18) are facing the New York Yankees for the second time this season, a three-game set that starts on Tuesday at Yankee Stadium, a place where the Rangers have lost 20 of their last 27 games. They haven’t won a series there since 2017. New York (24-11) is the best team in the American League, though the Tampa Bay Rays are right behind them in the AL East.

New York caught fire in a home series against the Kansas City Royals on April 17. Since then, the Yankees are 14-2, with three series sweeps and two series wins. That included a four-game sweep of the Orioles on Monday.

Texas has been treading .500 since April 4, when it dropped to 4-4 after a loss to Cincinnati.…
