Yankees vs Reds MLB Player Prop Picks (Jun 23)

The Yankees (45–32) open a three-game series in Cincinnati against the Reds (40–38). With New York looking to build on a momentum shift and Cincinnati hungry for consistency, both teams bring strong narratives into a matchup with run total around 10 runs.

• The Yankees snapped a six-game skid and closed out their homestand with two straight wins. Allan Winans makes his 2025 debut after Ryan Yarbrough hit the IL.
• The Reds counter with lefty Nick Lodolo (5–5, 3.71 ERA, 74 K), facing a Yankees lineup struggling with strikeouts.
• Total is set at 10.5 runs; Reds are underdogs (+104 ML) but hold upside in prop markets.

New York Yankees Player Prop Pick: Allan Winans

Yankees pitching has stabilized despite injuries, with a rotation ERA of 3.49. Rookie Will Warren has anchored recent starts, and veteran arms like Max Fried and Rodón bring deep strikeout ability. The offense, led by Aaron Judge and recently returned Giancarlo Stanton, aims to stay hot.

• Winans was dominant in Spring and has last season shown he’s capable with 0.90 ERA in Triple-A.
• The Reds post around 4.0 runs per game; he should avoid damage in debut outing.
• Low ER floor offers a clean under target for debuting rookie.

Cincinnati Reds Player Prop Pick: Nick Lodolo

Cincinnati sits just over .500 with a 20–17 home record. They’ve posted modest bats but benefit from solid production from Nick Lodolo and recent bullpen stability. Contact-heavy hitters like Elly De La Cruz anchor a lineup that rarely chases.

• Lodolo averages 7.8 K/9 and has surpassed 5.5 Ks in six starts this season.
• The Yankees rank 25th in strikeouts per game and are 9th most K-prone vs. LHP.
• His K profile aligns well with matchup and delivers unexpected equity.
