Marcus Semien and Corey Seager set the tone for the Rangers, with Seager’s .394 wOBA and .270 ISO standing out against right-handed pitching.

In the first two games of this series between the Yankees and Rangers, neither team scored a run in the first inning. And while both starting pitchers enter with strong NRFI records, both teams have the lineups to score a first-inning run. That’s especially true for New York who will have Juan Soto and Aaron Judge take their cracks with the bat in the first inning.
