My Prediction
New York Yankees by 3Oh, isn't this a treat? We got the New York Yankees taking on the Colorado Rockies. Now, to be honest with you, I'm not one to blow my own trumpet, but I can assure you the perspective I bring here might just be the thing you're looking for.
We're hosting this shindig at Coors Field. Now, Coors has always been a blessing to batters, which might see the Yankee slugger Aaron Judge stuffing a few more balls over the fence than usual. Paul Goldschmidt and Cody Bellinger ain’t slouching either. Talk about players who breathe life into a game. But remember folks, those are regular season stats, they count for something.
On the Rockies' turf though, we’ve got Hunter Goodman, Jordan Beck, and Mike Toglia stirring the pot. They're not bad, but you wonder if they're enough against the Yankee power.
The pitcher match-up is what you'd call a sweet and sour delight. New York is throwing out Clarke Schmidt who's had his ups and downs. On the other side, the Rockies put their hopes in Tanner Gordon. Call me crazy but a major league debut against the Yankees? The kid could turn out to be a diamond, but I've got my reservations.
Now, not to drag us into the past, but let's take a quick glance at it anyway. The Yanks and Rockies have had a set of fiery meets with a power pendulum swinging quite a bit. In recent memory though, it seems to have found a comfortable spot favoring the Yankees.
Oh, and just to throw out a fact that even a toddler can comprehend. On regular season performance, the Yankees have been smashing it out of the ballpark. Seriously, a W-L record of 30-19 versus the Rockies' 8-42? It's like comparing a thoroughbred to a 3-legged donkey.
Now, if you were to ask ole Albert here, who would be walking away with smiles plastered on their faces, I'd say the New York Yankees look set to do the jig. I reckon they might just thump the Rockies, and I'm talking a healthy margin here.
