Expected Pitching Matchup

Graham Ashcraft will take on the tall task for the Reds in game one of the series against the potent Yankees’ offense.

He is 4-2 on the season with a 4.35 ERA and 29 strikeouts. Gerrit Cole will take the mound for the Yankees with an 8-2 record on the year with an ERA of 3.26 and 124 strikeouts.

Ashcraft picked up a no decision in his last outing against the New York Mets, where he went six innings, giving up two runs on ten hits but only striking out one in that contest.

Cole has been awarded two games in a row, including a win this past weekend against the Red Sox. He pitched six innings in that contest giving up five runs on five hits. The New York offensive game helped him greatly in that game.

Betting Pick

The Reds turned some heads with their series sweep against the Rays, but it is hard to think that they will be able to put it together against a very talented Yankees’ team. With single digits losses on the season at home, the Yankees show that they protect their home-field advantage.

I am rolling with the Yankees in game one and think that they will win all three. The Reds may be able to sneak one against New York, but I wouldn’t bet on it. Cincinnati doesn’t play well on the road, and they have never played a team as talented as the Yankees.
