New York Yankees (20–9) at Cincinnati Reds (17–15)
The red hot New York Yankees are in the midst of a 6 game winning streak and winners in 10 of their last 12 games. The Yankees scored 10 runs in Monday’s victory, after playing 18 innings on Sunday night, and four or more runs in eight of their last 10 games. Their opponent, the Cincinnati Reds, have been on a streak of their own after winning 7 of 9. The Yankees won game 1 of this seriesMonday night, 10–4.
Taking the mound for the Yankees will be C.C. Sabathia (2–1, 5.45 ERA). The Yankees are 19–7 in Sabathias last 26 interleague starts and 6–1 in Sabathias last 7 starts.
The Reds scored four runs in Monday’s loss and four or more runs in six straight games. Getting the nod tonight for the Reds is Tim Adelman (1–1, 4.22 ERA). Adleman has been victimized by home runs this season, allowing 5 home runs in his first three outings. However, Adelman is coming off a solid outing vs Pittsburgh in which he allowed only 2 ER’s, no home runs and pitching a solid 6.0 innings.
Sabathia has allowed 17 earned runs in his last 14.2 innings which is a tough stat to swallow when backing the Yankees on the Moneyline. Both pitchers have had their share of troubles on the mound and both the Yankees and Reds’ offenses have been potent this season. This will be Adelman’s first start vs the Yankees and this lineuup will strike fear in any pitcher. The Over is 12–3 in Cincinnati’s last 15 games and the Over is 9–1 in the Yankees last 10 games.
I think the Over 9 runs is a safe bet in this game with two offenses that can rake, facing two pitchers that are not overpowering. Look for this game to go Over 9 runs.
