Fresh off one of the worst losses of the season, the Yankees continue their crucial series with the Rangers in a game at Globe Life Field on Tuesday night. Not only is a win paramount for the Yanks in terms of their chances of getting back into the AL East race, but they are seriously in danger of falling out of the MLB playoff picture altogether.
