Colorado Rockies vs New York Yankees Prediction: The two teams are in poor form

Sunday's Major League Baseball action at Coors Field features a matchup between the New York Yankees and the Colorado Rockies. This will be the second of three games that will be played over the course of the weekend. The Rockies won the first game of the series on Sunday by a score of five runs.

The San Francisco Giants defeated the Colorado Rockies in their most recent series by losing two out of three games. On Saturday, Colorado got on the board first with three runs in the second inning and never looked back from there. As the starting pitcher, Austin Gomber was able to complete 6.0 innings while allowing two earned runs, six hits, and no walks. On Sunday, the Rockies will go with Connor Seabold as their starting pitcher. This year, Seabold has appeared in 19 games and made 12 starts. He has pitched 70.1 innings and struck out 53 batters. In his career, Seabold has appeared in 25 games (18 starts) and has a record of 1-10 with a 7.56 earned run average (ERA).

Over the past weekend, the New York Yankees faced off against the Chicago Cubs and ended up losing two of the three games in that series. On Saturday, New York led Colorado 2-0 early in the game but couldn't score again and ultimately lost 7-2. After 5.0 innings pitched, starting pitcher Carlos Rodon surrendered four runs, all of which were earned, on four hits and two walks. On Sunday, Clarke Schmidt is scheduled to open the show. This year, Schmidt has 18 starts (19 games) and has a record of 4-6 with a 4.40 ERA and 87 strikeouts in 88.0 innings pitched. In his career, Schmidt has played 53 games (23 starts) and has a record of 9-12 with a 4.09 earned run average (ERA).

I'll continue to root for the Yankees. Despite that, we probably won't be touching this one. In his last three games, Schmidt has a record of 2-0 with a total of 11.0 innings of work, six earned runs, ten hits, and three walks. Regarding Seabold, he has a record of 0-3 in his most recent three starts, with 13.2 innings pitched, 15 earned runs, 19 hits, and three walks. Another poor offensive performance was turned in by New York on Friday, with only three players recording at least one hit between them. The Yankees will need to get back on track in order to win game two, but they are still likely the team to beat in this matchup.
