Reds vs. Yankees Picks
Run Line Pick for Reds vs. Yankees
- New York Yankees -1.5 (4 Units)
The Yankees have the edge here because they’re on a roll offensively and scored at least eight runs in three of their last four games. They’ve crushed left-handed pitching, and they’re going up against Abbott, who has been shaky on the mound in recent starts, giving up six runs in his last two road starts. With Cincinnati’s bullpen struggling, they will have a hard time slowing down the Yankees in this game.
The Reds will have a hard time keeping up offensively because they struggled in recent games, scoring 11 runs in their last three road games. They haven’t been successful against right-handers, and they’re going up against Warren, who has done a good job on the mound, giving up eight runs in his last three starts. With New York having one of the best bullpens in the league, they won’t have trouble keeping Cincinnati’s offense in check. Take New York on the run line.
Over/Under Pick for Reds vs. Yankees
- Under (4 Units)
The Reds average 4.26 runs per game. They’re batting .227 against right-handers, and they’re facing a starter who gave up eight runs in his last three starts. The Yankees average 5.22 runs per game. They’re batting .259 against left-handers, and they’re facing a starter who gave up seven runs in his last three starts. Don’t expect these teams to score enough runs to push the score over the total. The Reds and Yankees played under the total in four of their last five meetings.
