Prediction: New York Yankees VS Colorado Rockies 2025-05-25
The New York Yankees, with their star-studded lineup, are looking to bounce back from a surprising 3-2 loss in Game 1 against the struggling Colorado Rockies. With Max Fried (6-0, 1.29 ERA) on the mound, the Yankees are poised to take Game 2.
Fried will face off against Kyle Freeland (0-6, 5.68), who's had a rough start to the season. The Yankees' offense, led by Aaron Judge (.396, 16 HR, 44 RBI), Cody Bellinger, and Paul Goldschmidt, should have a field day against Freeland.
The Rockies, on the other hand, will rely on Hunter Goodman (.282, 31 RBI) to lead their offense. However, with the Yankees' potent lineup and Fried's dominant pitching, it's hard to see the Rockies pulling off another upset.
The odds are in favor of the Yankees, with most bookmakers listing them as -1.5 favorites. Given the talent disparity between the two teams and Fried's impressive record, my best bet is on the Yankees to cover the spread.
Best Bet: New York Yankees -1.5 (-153 on FanDuel)
This bet offers a decent return considering the Yankees' strong chances of winning. With Fried on the mound and their explosive offense, I'm confident the Yankees will take Game 2 by a margin of at least 2 runs.
