The New York Yankees will hit the road and come to the West Coast for a three-game set against the Colorado Rockies. Comparing these teams is like looking at apples and oranges, as the Yankees currently hold a commanding lead in the AL East, while the Rockies are by far the worst team in the MLB.
New York's rotation has been spotted with injury all season long, and tonight's starter, Clarke Schmidt, is no exception. He started the season on the IL and missed a start earlier in May, making this game against an abysmal Colorado offense a big opportunity for Schmidt to knock off a bit of the rust. He has already made six starts this season, putting up a 4.41 ERA and a 1.29 WHIP throughout his appearances. Those numbers are the definition of mediocrity, but they indicate a level of play that should be more than enough to best the Rockies.
As if things could not get any worse for the Rockies, their projected starter for the day, Chase Dollander, was just placed on the 15-day IL. In his stead, right-hander Tanner Gordon will make his second start of the season. Gordon's lone appearance on the year came against the Detroit Tigers, in which he gave up four runs over six innings of work. There is not much basis to judge Gordon's work on, but it is fair to expect a fair amount of rust, seeing as it has been a couple of weeks since his last start. Rust does not bode well against one of the best offenses in the MLB at Coors Field.

Yankees vs Rockies Predictions and Picks
Arthur Reyes of Statsalt writes, "The New York Yankees are on fire while the Colorado Rockies are on pace to be the worst team in MLB history. In the month of May, these starting pitchers are in two completely different levels as Clarke Schmidt is 1-0 with a 3.50 ERA and a 1.17 WHIP in 18.0 innings (three starts) while Bradley Blalock is 0-2 with an 8.00 ERA and a 2.220 WHIP in 9.0 innings (two starts) thus far.
The ability to hit with runners in scoring position shows a massive gap as the Yankees are fifth in MLB with a .781 team OPS in those at-bats, while the Rockies are 25th with just a .651 team OPS with runners in scoring position. All in all, go with the New York Yankees to win by multiple runs on the road."
