The AL East topping New York Yankees host the Cincinnati Reds at Yankee Stadium on Friday night, in the first matchup of a lopsided-looking three game series.
The Yankees are currently the bookies' favorites to win the World Series, despite a surprise loss to the White Sox last time out. They still hold a healthy four game advantage over the Rays at the top of the AL East standings, and based on their superb 21-13 home record this season, this looks like being a very tough assignment for the Reds.
Talking of the Reds, whilst they are currently occupying the bottom spot in the NL Central, they did record an impressive 2-1 series victory over the Mets earlier in the week. However, their overall form in recent weeks has been somewhat less impressive, and they have won just four of their last 13 fixtures.

Our New York Yankees vs Cincinnati Reds Prediction
The Yankees will have Cam Schlittler (7-3) on the mound for this one, and that spells trouble for a Reds side that has struggled for offensive consistency this season.
As you would expect, the bookies have New York as very short favorites for the win. But whilst there's little value in backing them at just 1.33, we do think this could be a very one-sided contest, so the odds of around 2.30 on the home side winning by at least three runs DOES represent a solid value pick.
Our prediction for New York Yankees vs Cincinnati Reds is: New York Yankees (-2.5) to win.
