New York Yankees vs Cincinnati Reds Prediction

I’ll take a stab on the Reds in this one. Probably not touching it, though; both starters could use a good showing. Over his last three starts, Ashcraft is 0-1 with 13.2 innings, 13 earned runs, 20 hits and three walks. As for Gil, he’s 0-2 over his last pair with 12 earned runs in 5.2 innings on 12 hits and six walks.

The Reds really need to get their bats going as well. Cincinnati scored exactly zero runs in two of their three weekend Games. The good news is that New York has given up up five or more runs in five of their last six Games. I’m probably staying away from this one, but the Reds may have a decent shot.
