The New York Yankees and Colorado Rockies will wrap up their three-game interleague series on Sunday, May 25, 2025, at Coors Field, where the Yankees look to close out a dominant weekend and the Rockies hope to salvage any momentum from what has been a historically rough start to their season. At 31–20, the Yankees are firmly in the postseason picture, playing with confidence and consistency thanks to a lethal combination of elite starting pitching and a lineup anchored by one of baseball’s most feared hitters in Aaron Judge. Judge has been on a torrid pace, batting .396 with 15 home runs and routinely sparking the Yankees’ offense alongside Gleyber Torres, Juan Soto, and Anthony Volpe, all of whom have contributed to a team batting average of .262 and a total of 271 runs scored entering Sunday. New York’s pitching staff, led by Max Fried and supported by Nestor Cortes and Carlos Rodón, has carried much of the weight, with Fried boasting a league-best 1.29 ERA and the entire rotation excelling in run prevention. Sunday’s starter Will Warren brings a 3–2 record and 4.05 ERA into the finale, and while he’s been inconsistent at times, his matchup against a struggling Rockies lineup sets him up for success. The Yankees’ bullpen has been steady, anchored by Clay Holmes and Jonathan Loáisiga, and with a stout defense behind them, the Yankees have become one of the most complete and fundamentally sound teams in the league. On the other hand, the Rockies enter with a dismal 9–43 record, the worst in baseball, and have lost eight of their last ten games, falling further into the NL West cellar.

Colorado’s issues begin with its pitching staff, which has a bloated team ERA of 5.88, with Sunday starter Antonio Senzatela contributing a 1–8 record and 6.34 ERA, emblematic of the rotation’s inability to keep the team in games. Offensively, Colorado has been equally punchless, managing just a .217 team batting average and struggling to generate consistent scoring, even at hitter-friendly Coors Field. Bright spots have been few, though young players like Hunter Goodman and Jordan Beck have flashed promise with occasional bursts of power and athleticism, giving the Rockies’ front office something to build on long-term. Their bullpen has also been erratic, frequently entering games already out of hand, and defensively the team has been prone to lapses that compound their pitching woes. From a betting standpoint, the Yankees are heavy -299 favorites, while the Rockies sit at +240, with the over/under set at 11.5 runs due to the offensive nature of Coors Field. Given the gap in talent, form, and execution, New York is poised to cruise to another win unless Colorado can drastically flip the script. With Will Warren likely to attack early, and the Yankees’ offense capitalizing on every mistake, the game figures to follow the same script as much of the Rockies’ season. For New York, it’s a chance to pad their record and keep pace in the AL East. For Colorado, it’s about pride, player development, and finding something positive to cling to in a season that’s slipping away with alarming speed.
