The Cincinnati Reds (32-54) and New York Yankees (61-25) meet Tuesday at 7:05 p.m. ET to open a 3-game series at Yankee Stadium. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Reds vs. Yankees odds with MLB picks and predictions.
Season series: First meeting between the 2 teams since 2017. Yankees lead the all-time series 11-8 since 2003.
The Reds tote a 4-game win streak into the Bronx. Tuesday will mark Cincy’s first road tilt in July as the Reds are coming off a 6-5 homestand. They logged a mere .636 OPS in those 11 home games.
The Yankees are back at home after a 5-5 road trip. New York lost at Boston Saturday and Sunday and is looking to avoid its first 3-game losing streak since May 22-23.
Reds at Yankees projected starters
RHP Graham Ashcraft vs. RHP Gerrit Cole
Ashcraft (4-2, 4.35 ERA) is tabbed for his 10th start. He has a 1.29 WHIP, 1.6 BB/9 and 5.3 K/9 in 49 2/3 IP.
- The 24-year-old rookie has struggled on the road (6.98 ERA in 19 1/3 IP).
- Has done well to limit hard contact while inducing a 53.4% ground-ball rate.
Cole (8-2, 3.26 ERA) is making his 18th start. He has a 1.03 WHIP, 2.6 BB/9 and 11.2 K/9 in 99 1/3 IP.

- Since coming to the Yanks in 2020, he has a 2.64 ERA, 0.99 WHIP at Yankee Stadium.

Run line/Against the spread
The NEW YORK -1.5 (-135) price is fair. The Yankees have just been so good at home (19-2, 2.01 ERA since May 24) … and so has their ace hurler.
Over/Under
Ashcraft’s ground-ball stuff angles well into a problem area for the Yankees offense. Cole has twice this season had shaky outings after 3 straight games with triple-digit pitch counts. He bounced back last time so look for a solid outing against a Cincy club that had a .636 OPS over its 11-game homestand.
Consider the UNDER 8.5 if the price hits -115 or better.
