Pitching Matchup: Warren vs. Senzatela

Right-hander Will Warren (3−2, 4.05 ERA) will take the mound for the New York Yankees. Warren, a young pitcher with only 15 career starts, faced the Rockies last August and struggled, giving up six runs (five earned) in three innings in a 9-2 loss. However, he has shown significant improvement this season, earning his first career win on April 12th against the San Francisco Giants and establishing himself as a reliable starter for the Yankees. Superstar Aaron Judge highlighted Warren’s importance, stating, “He’s going to be a big piece for us down the road, and he’s a big piece for us right now.”

Opposing Warren will be Colorado Rockies right-hander Antonio Senzatela (1−8, 6.34 ERA). Senzatela has had a challenging season, giving up at least four runs in five consecutive starts and boasting the worst ERA among qualified pitchers in MLB. His only previous outing against the Yankees was on July 20, 2019, where he allowed six runs on seven hits in just 11/3 innings. Senzatela has struggled to limit hits this season, failing to give up fewer than six knocks in any of his nine outings.

Team Form and Key Players

The New York Yankees currently hold an impressive 31−20 record, leading the AL East. Their offense, despite a slow start in the first two games of this series at Coors Field, erupted for 10 runs in the fifth inning on Saturday. Aaron Judge continues to be a driving force for the Yankees, briefly raising his batting average to .401 on Saturday before ending the day at .395. He’s also hit solo homers in both games of the series. For more in-depth strategies and insights, check out our MLB Expert Betting Guide.

The Colorado Rockies are in the midst of a historically bad season, with a record of 9−43. This marks the worst 50-game start in MLB’s modern era. They secured a rare victory on Friday, beating the Yankees 3−2, but followed it with a lopsided loss on Saturday. The team is relying on young talent, including 22-year-old second baseman Adael Amador. While Amador has struggled at the plate, batting just .146, his defensive prowess and poise have been noted. Interim manager Warren Schaeffer has expressed confidence in Amador, believing that promoting confidence in young players will accelerate their success. Coors Field is known for being a hitter-friendly ballpark, and the park factors for 2025 indicate it heavily favors offense, particularly for extra-base hits and runs.

Match Outlook

Given the Yankees’ strong record and offensive potential, especially after their outburst on Saturday, they are heavily favored to win the series finale. Will Warren’s improved performance in 2025, coupled with the Yankees’ lineup, should provide ample support. The Rockies will need a much-improved outing from Antonio Senzatela and a more consistent offensive attack to pull off a series split. This game is an opportunity for the Yankees to maintain their strong position in the standings, while the Rockies look to find some semblance of momentum in a challenging season.
