Yankees vs Reds Predictions and Picks
New York is 21-18 on the road and 3-7 in its last ten games. The Yankees rank fourth in runs scored, eighth in batting average, second in on-base percentage, and second in slugging percentage. On the pitching side, they are sixth in ERA. Aaron Judge leads the team in batting average, home runs, and RBIs. In this series, he has scored three runs, collected two hits, and hit one home run. The Yankees will look to strike first again and finally close out a game to avoid a sweep. On the mound for New York is Max Fried (9-2, 2.14 ERA). Eight of his ten starts have been quality outings, and he has only one poor start all season.
Cincinnati is 22-17 at home and 7-3 in its last ten games. The Reds are tied for 10th in runs scored, rank 16th in batting average, 15th in on-base percentage, and 11th in slugging percentage. Their pitching staff ranks 12th in ERA. Elly De La Cruz leads the team in home runs and RBIs. In this series, he has five hits, one home run, and three RBIs. Cincinnati has scored four or more runs in four straight games and will look to keep the momentum going. On the mound for the Reds is Brady Singer (7-5, 4.02 ERA). He has four quality starts this season and has allowed one run or fewer in each of his last two outings.
Best Bet: Under
Both pitchers have been throwing well lately, while the Yankees' offense has been inconsistent. Although the Reds' offense has been steady, it's likely to slow down against Fried. This should be a low-scoring, tightly contested game that could be decided by the bullpens.
