Reds vs Yankees Prediction

The current betting odds have the Yankees listed as a massive favorite in this game. Both of these teams had Monday off and still have the series opener to be played on Tuesday but the Yankees have the best record in the MLB right now and they are playing a Reds team with one of the worst records in the MLB this season. These teams have been trending in opposite directions all season and the Yankees have a superior team with both their pitching staff and batting lineup. The Yankees also lost their last 2 games of their series against the Red Sox, even blowing a big lead in that last game, so they will be trying to take that out on the Reds here. The Yankees have also been one of the best teams in the MLB at home this season as they do not even have 10 losses in over 40 games there. The Yankees have been scoring a lot of runs recently and they should have no problem blowing away one of the worst teams in the MLB here. The best way to place a bet here is on the Yankees to win on the runline.

Notable Quotes

 
"It is important. We played some pretty good teams. This whole home stand was important. We had a winning record. More importantly it's the way we went about it. Our team has gotten healthier and gotten better. We have a long way to go. A lot of good things happened. It was an exciting day with Moose getting to 200 home runs." - David Bell after his team’s win against the Rays on Sunday.
 
 
"First with Clay, he got beat by a ground ball through the hole, a good job of hitting by Verdugo. Wandy fell behind and Verdugo put a very good swing on it." - Aaron Boone after his team’s loss against the Red Sox on Saturday.
