Cincinnati RedsvsNew York Yankees

CIN 10/NYY 2

MLB.TVYankee Stadium
The preview

The Cincinnati Reds roll into Yankee Stadium this afternoon sitting at 35-39, which means this is about as close to a getaway day tune-up as the Bronx Bombers get — New York is 46-28 and laying -205 on the money line, so Vegas is basically daring you to find value on the Reds. The over/under is set at 9.5 with a run-line of -1.5 for New York, suggesting the books expect the Yankees' lineup to get into whatever the Reds throw out there fairly early.

Cincinnati's bullpen has been a liability all season, and if the heart of the Yankees order gets going, this one could get out of hand in a hurry. Bold call: Yankees win by four or more, at least one ball left the yard from the right side, and the Reds' manager goes to the pen way too early trying to stop the bleeding.
