Yankees vs Rockies predictions
When you look at the New York Yankees heading into this big matchup at Coors Field, there’s no getting around just how hot Aaron Judge has been. I fully expect him to keep raking, maybe even adding another homer to his already impressive tally. Judge seems primed for a night with multiple hits and some RBIs to boot. Cody Bellinger, coming off some consistent performances, should chip in with a couple of quality at-bats and find his way on base at least once or twice. Don’t sleep on Anthony Volpe either—his speed and knack for getting hits could see him notching a run or two, especially if the Yankees start stringing rallies together. On the mound, Will Warren should deliver a solid outing; he’s shown flashes of being able to rack up the strikeouts while limiting damage in the early innings.
Shifting over to the Colorado Rockies, you have to wonder if they can keep up against the Yanks’ relentless lineup. Hunter Goodman stands out as their best bet for some offensive spark—look for him to drive in a run and collect at least one hit. Jordan Beck could be another bright spot, maybe even sneaking a ball over the fence if the Rockies catch Will Warren off guard. Ryan McMahon has quietly put together some solid at-bats lately, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see him work a walk and knock at least one ball through for a single. Pitching-wise, Antonio Senzatela faces a tall order trying to contain the Yankees, and he’ll need to lean on his defense to keep things close, especially when navigating that brutal middle of the New York order.
Putting it all together, it just feels like the Yankees have too much firepower and momentum in this one, even on the road at Coors. The Rockies have struggled to find consistency both at the plate and on the mound, and while a few of their guys could have solid performances, it’s hard to imagine they’ll be able to match the punch from Judge, Bellinger, and company. If the Yankees get even a decent outing from Will Warren, I’d back them to pull away late and take the series lead. Do you feel that Bronx Bombers energy, or are you rolling the dice with the surprise in Colorado?
