Sunday May 25th MLB Best Bets: Yankees vs. Rockies, Mets vs. Dodgers Props

When a team can't get out of its own way and becomes an easy target, the rule of thumb is to continue firing until no longer fruitful.

The Colorado Rockies are that easy target.

Especially with the New York Yankees in town for a late-afternoon batting practice session against Antonio Senzatela.

We also have an angle on the other New York team, which has the nightcap with the Dodgers on Sunday.

Let’s swing away.

Yankees first-inning moneyline (+145, Caesars)

Working in your favor on this play is a guaranteed at-bat from Aaron Judge, who is threatening the .400 batting average mark. Rockies starter Antonio Senzatela has struggled mightily in the first inning at Coors Field, posting a 9.90 ERA in the opening frame and allowing 11 earned runs in 10 starts.

Yankees -2.5 run line (-145 at BetMGM)

Backing starter Will Warren after a 13-1 win in Max Fried’s Saturday start in Denver, the Yankees are by far the superior offense. Colorado’s trend in Senzatela starts has not been positive — three of the last four starts were losses by multiple runs. The Yankees have won three consecutive Warren starts by multiple runs.

Mets RHP Kodai Senga under 5.5 strikeouts vs. Dodgers (-110, DraftKings)

Senga has 47 strikeouts and an ERA under 1.50, but he’s not logging many innings and the Dodgers are one of the league leaders in patience. Los Angeles lays off the sinker/splitter to work the count, leading to Senga likely leaving the game before he records 18 outs for the seventh consecutive start. He has four strikeouts or fewer in four of his last eight starts.
