Tonight the Reds open a two game series versus the New York Yankees at GABP in a battle of first place teams. At least, that’s what the standings table tells me. Take a moment to savor that just a game or two short of 20% through the 2017 season, the Reds are in first place which is probably the last place most of us projected them to be this far along.
Both teams come into this game waving their brooms following a weekend sweep. The Yankees are 20-9 overall; 8-2 in their last 10 games.
