Rockies vs Yankees MLB Betting Preview, Prediction
The Yankees and Rockies will duke it out on Wednesday night in the last of a three-game interleague set at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx. Max Fried will start for New York, while Tomoyuki Sugano will take the mound for Colorado.
Fried has been phenomenal this season, posting a 2.73 ERA and a .99 WHIP over 96 innings. The Yankees have kept him on a short leash over the past few months as he recovers from a left elbow injury, but he’s been stretching out and pitching well nonetheless.
The same can’t be said of Sugano, who is running a 5.19 ERA this season across over 130 frames. While you could blame the Coors Field Factor, he’s actually been worse on the road (5.46 ERA) than he has at home (4.96 ERA).
Given this game will be in the Bronx, I suspect Sugano struggles while Fried shines, and the Yanks come away with a blowout victory.
I also think Cody Bellinger will have a big game.
In six prior at-bats against Sugano, her has three hits.
Bellinger has a pretty sizable platoon advantage in this matchup, as Sugano struggles against lefties (.378 wOBA allowed this season) while Cody bashes righties (116 wRC+ this season).
I actually like Sugano’s arsenal, but his three-quarters arm slot gives lefties like Bellinger a long, clean look at the ball.
Picks: Yankees -1.5 (-115) | Cody Bellinger Over 1.5 HRR (-146)
