New York Yankees vs Colorado Rockies

Match Analysis

The chasm between these two teams is almost impossible to overstate. New York Yankees lead Colorado Rockies in overall power by 80 points, in defense by 95, and in dominance by 80. The Rockies' ratings are catastrophic across the board: 1 in overall power, 1 in defense, 1 in dominance, 1 in pedigree, and 30 in offense. The only dimension where Colorado competes is consistency, where they lead 82 to 57, and drama, where their 100 dwarfs the Yankees' 25. Both the ratings and the market point the same direction. The ratings favour the Yankees at 81 to 1 in overall power; the market prices them at 75 per cent to 25. I'd say the market is pricing this closer than the quality gap suggests, but the two are at least singing from the same hymn sheet. The head-to-head record from three meetings backs this heavily: Yankees 2 wins, 1 loss. In their most recent encounter they won decisively 13–1, though they did lose one game 3–2 in between. Where things get interesting is Colorado's form away from home. Over four road matches they're 0–4—a catalogue of defeats. At home over five matches they're 3–2, which is identical to the Yankees' record both at home and on the road. The Yankees' consistency rating of 57 reflects wobbling form: 3 wins, 2 losses from their last five. Colorado's 82 consistency rating speaks to something real—they've won three of their last five overall—but that away record is damning. Coors Field might offer them something, but step outside it and they're nowhere.
