Cincinnati Reds at New York Yankees MLB Interleague Series: The New York Yankees have finally found their stride, as they seem to be firing on all cylinders over the past week or so. Tonight, the Bronx Bombers (40-33) welcome to the “Cathedral of Baseball” the Cincinnati Reds (33-41), for a three-game interleague weekend set. Tonight’s pitching match up features RHP Mike Mussina vs. Edinson Volquez. SportsBetting.com has the New York Yankees a -148 betting odds favorite against the visiting Cincinnati Reds (+138).
Friday night, the Cincinnati Reds will make their visit to Yankee Stadium in the Bronx for the first time since the 1976 World Series. Of course none of the current players were part of that 1976 team, therefore, some of them are excited, and looking forward to the opportunity: 
"I'm excited, it's going to be awesome," Jay Bruce said. "I've never been to New York, either. That will be fun."
However, it’s hard to say how much fun the Reds will actually have this weekend at “The House that Ruth Built”. After all, the New York Yankees are currently the hottest team in baseball, in pitching and swinging the bat.
The Reds will try to contain this Yankees offense by sending to the hill RHP Edinson Volquez. Thus far this season, Volquez is having an excellent season with a great mark of 9-2, and a lights out ERA of 1.64 (leading the Majors).
Volquez’s opponent tonight in the opener will be one of the hottest pitchers in the majors right now, the veteran-cerebral RHP Mike Mussina. Thus far, “The Moose” has a great record of 10-4, with a 3.87 ERA.
It is fair to say that in tonight’s opener runs might be at a premium of both these pitchers come out with good stuff. The O/U in runs for tonight's game 1, has been set at a combined 9 runs total.
