The 50-43 New York Yankees have been overpriced for the way they have been playing of late and have been worthy of a fade, except for one exception when their ace, Gerrit Cole, takes the hill. Cole will be tapping the rubber today when the Bombers conclude their 3-game set with the 35-58 Colorado Rockies at Coors Field. The future Hall of Famer has been throwing flames as usual. Cole is 9-2 with a 2.85 ERA, a 1.12 WHIP, and is 5-1 in his career against Colorado with a 2.47 ERA. The Rockies are expected to send Chase Anderson to the hill. How he is still in The Bigs is beyond me. Anderson is 0-4 with a 6.89 ERA, a 1.55 WHIP, and it gets worse. Over his last 3 turns, Anderson is 0-3 with a 11.74 ERA, a 2.02 WHIP, and is 0-1 in his career against the Yankees with a 16.88 ERA, which is not a typo. The Bombers’ bats finally came alive yesterday, hitting can become contagious, and they should have no problem putting the screws to the Rockies.
