Yankees Sweep the Rangers

The Yankees will make a statement in their series against the Texas Rangers.

The Rangers have gotten off to a good start this season and are 13-3.

At this point in the season, they look like the best team in baseball.

The Yankees will prove that they are one of the best teams in baseball and sweep the Rangers.

Hiroki Kuroda Will Out-Pitch Yu Darvish

The two Japanese pitchers will start the second game of the Yankees and Rangers series.

The veteran is going to teach the rookie a lesson.

Hiroki Kuroda will bounce back from a bad outing and out-pitch Yu Darvish. It is going to be a pitching dual that is won by Kuroda.

Kuroda will go seven innings, giving up two runs and six hits. Darvish will go six innings, giving up three runs and eight hits.

Phil Hughes Finally Throws Well

Phil Hughes has struggled so far in 2012.

He is 1-2 and has a 6.75 ERA.

Hughes will finally pitch well against the Rangers.

He will go six innings, giving up two runs on six hits.

Derek Jeter Will Continue to Hit

Derek Jeter has gotten off to a hot start and is an early front-runner for American League MVP.

He has helped carry the Yankees offense.

Jeter will continue to hit this week and have a total of 11 hits.

Robinson Cano Will Hit Three Home Runs

Many consider Robinson Cano the Yankees' best hitter.

He has gotten off to a slow start and only has one home run.

The Yankees are going to need more production from Cano if they are going to beat one of the best teams in baseball.

Cano will finally start hitting this week, including three home runs.

Yankees Take 2 out of the 3 from Tigers

The Yankees will face the Tigers to end the week.

The Tigers eliminated the Yankees in the ALDS last season, and the Yanks will be looking to get some revenge.

The Yankees will win two out of the three games against the Tigers.

Granderson Will Get to 10 Home Runs

Curtis Granderson will be the first player in the American League to reach 10 home runs this season.

He is currently at six, so (for all you who are bad at math) he will hit four home runs this week.

More specifically, Granderson will hit three home runs against the Tigers.
