NY Yankees vs Colorado Rockies Prediction
New York did not get a very good pitching effort on Saturday in game two, which resulted in a bad loss against a Rockies team that is awful on the road. Colorado is 19-49 on the road this year, while New York is 35-29 at home. The Yankees are locked in a battle with the Orioles in the AL East and they cannot afford to have any bad losses. Both of these pitchers have been pretty solid in recent outings, but I still can’t trust the Rockies on the road. My NY Yankees vs Colorado Rockies prediction is for the Yankees to win by at least two runs.
