Colorado Rockies vs New York Yankees Prediction
The Yankees pitching has been good the last two games, and it’s going to be the same here. Rodon gave up four runs in his last start, but he has still been overall this season, and now he gets to face off against a terrible Rockies team. Freeland gave up five runs in his last start, and he’s going to be blown up by the Yankees bats in this start. Back the Yankees to win this by at least four runs. Back the Yankees -3.5.
