Yankees vs Reds Prediction
You can talk yourself into the Reds and the big plus money with Abbott on the mound, as he’s held his own this season. The problem is the Reds have scored 1 run in their last 2 games, and now they’re going up against Warren. He has a 3.47 ERA and 1.29 WHIP through 72.2 innings. The Yankees have won 6 straight games Warren has pitched. I’m rolling with the Yankees, and I’ll lay the RL to shave down the price.
