Yankees Set to Face Struggling Rockies in Friday Matchup - Predicted to Continue Winning Streak

The New York Yankees, currently on a winning streak of six out of their last seven games, are set to face the struggling Colorado Rockies on Friday. Despite the Rockies having the potential to produce offense while playing at home, their recent record of losing nine out of their last ten games indicates they will face a tough challenge against the Yankees. Fried, who has excelled in his first ten starts with the Yankees, will be facing Freeland, who is still seeking his first victory of the season. The Rockies have had a historically poor start, making it unlikely that they will improve their record against the dominant Yankees. Therefore, it is advisable to bet on the Yankees adding another win to their record while the Rockies continue to struggle.
