Colorado Rockies vs. New York Yankees Prediction
I’m on the Yankees in this one. Sugano’s been a decent option, but the runs have started to pile up in his starts and Warren has looked like a solid option in the Yankees’ rotation. I think that New York backs up Warren with a big day off of Sugano and gets it done here. Give me the Yankees.
