The national league is as competitive as it gets this season. Although the Reds sit above .500 on the season, Cincinnati also sits three games behind in the wild card race and trail both the Padres and Cardinals, who are also slightly on the outside looking in.
The Yankees won back to back games this past weekend for the first time since the completion of the sweep over the Royals on June 11th and 12th.
A couple stats that jumped out to me regarding this matchup are the following:
1. Team record against greater than .500 opponents:
Yankees 23-23
Reds 22-22
2. Point differential and ranking in MLB:
1. Yankees +110
11 (tie) Reds +34
