Colorado Rockies vs New York Yankees Prediction 

New York was able to pick up the shutout win in game one of this series on Friday night, and they will try to make it four in a row with a win here. The Yankees are 35-28 at home this year, while the Rockies are just 18-49 on the road. Colorado has been pretty competitive at home this year, but their road games have been ugly. The Rockies will start Blalock, who will be making his third appearance for Colorado. The Yankees will turn to Will Warren, who has had major issues this year. Neither starting pitcher is very trustworthy in my opinion and I think we should see plenty of scoring in this game, so my Colorado Rockies vs New York Yankees prediction is for this game to go over the total.
