Rockies at Yankees picks and predictions

Prediction

Yankees 6, Rockies 2

Moneyline

PASS.

No doubt in my mind that the Yankees (-300) will take this series on Sunday, but definitely not taking those odds. I’ll take my wager to the run line.

Run line/Against the spread

BET YANKEE -2.5 (+110).

The Yankees are 35-29 in the Bronx and 28-16 during day games this season. New York is also 4-1 ATS in their last 5. It’s also very encouraging that Stroman has allowed just 1 ER in his last 11 innings (2 starts). Hard to bet against the team that’s got Judge and his 49 HRs.

Based on record, the Rockies are the 3rd-worst team in the MLB. They are 19-49 away from Coors Field this season.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 8.5 (-105).

My initial instinct was to take the Over but the trends told me to take the Under. The Under has hit in Gomber’s last 4 starts. In their last 5 meetings the Rockies-Yankees are 3-2 against the Under. The Under has hit in 4 of the Rockies last 6 and 2 of the Yankees last 3.

From record heat to accumulating snow in Denver

December 25, 2025 / 9:03 PM MST
/ CBS Colorado

From record heat to accumulating snow across Colorado. Highs will reach about 59 degrees on Saturday before a strong cold front moves through around 10 p.m. Saturday night. Temperatures will tumble, with highs only near 29 degrees on Sunday.

That front will also bring accumulating snow to much of the state. Snow develops across the high country early Saturday morning, then intensifies through the evening hours. Travel could become tricky at mountain pass level and along the I-70 corridor by the Saturday evening commute.

CBS

Saturday night into Sunday morning, snow levels drop quickly. Accumulations are possible from Fort Collins to Boulder, Denver, Castle Rock, and Colorado Springs, extending all the way to Colorado’s southern border.

Storm totals of 4 to 8 inches are expected across the high country, with locally higher amounts up to 14 inches at mountain pass level in the northern mountains and the highest peaks.

Up to 5 inches is possible in the foothills, with around 4 inches across the Denver metro.

Keep in mind, with temperatures near 59 degrees on Saturday, some snow will melt initially. That could lead to slushy, wet accumulations, especially early in the event.

Warmest Christmas in Denver history as temps reach 70°

Updated on: December 25, 2025 / 1:48 PM MST
/ CBS Colorado

Thursday was the warmest Christmas in Denver history as temperatures reached 70°, shattering the previous heat record of 69° for Dec. 25, 2005.

CBS

This month has been a record-setting month for heat in Denver. On Christmas Eve, Denver beat a heat record, reaching 71°, breaking the previous record of 70° set in 1955.

Wednesday’s temperatures are about 29° warmer than the average temperature for this time of year in Colorado.

Before Christmas Eve, December has already broken two notable warm-weather records. Earlier this month, Denver recorded eight days with highs of 60° or warmer, breaking a record that had stood since 1939.

Then on Dec. 22, temperatures at Denver International Airport soared to 76°, smashing the previous daily record of 70°. That also made it the second-warmest December temperature ever recorded in Denver.

While Dec. 22, 2025, saw the second-hottest temperature ever recorded in December, Dec. 22 has also seen the second coldest temperature ever recorded in Colorado. In 1990, it was 25 below!

There will be a shift in our jet stream pattern by the weekend, which will help allow some of the Pacific moisture to move into Colorado.

Mountain snow is expected to return by the end of the week, with snow chances continuing through the weekend.

Telluride Ski Resort in Colorado to close Saturday due to labor dispute

Telluride Ski Resort in Colorado to close Saturday due to labor dispute

FORT COLLINS, Colo. — Telluride, one of the best-known ski resorts in the Western U.S., plans to close in the coming days due to a labor dispute between its owner and the ski patrol union.

The Telluride Professional Ski Patrol Association voted Tuesday to strike Saturday after contract negotiations since June failed to yield an agreement on pay. With no more talks planned before the weekend, Telluride Ski Resort said it will not open that day.

“We are concerned that any organization, particularly one that exists to help people, would do something that will have such a devastating effect on our community,” owner Chuck Horning said Wednesday in a statement.

It was not immediately clear whether the closure will last longer. Resort officials were working on a plan to reopen even if the strike continues, according to the statement.

The patrollers are seeking to be paid more in line with their counterparts at other resorts in the region.

The union wants starting pay to rise from $21 to $28 per hour, and for wages for patrollers with more than 30 years of experience to increase from $30-$36 per hour to $39-$48.60 per hour.

While resort officials sought to lay blame for the impending closure on the union, Andy Dennis, interim safety director and spokesperson for patrollers’ association, said it lies with Horning.

“He’s being a bully. This is what bullies do, take their toys and run,” Dennis said. “All he has to do is give us a fair contract, and this would all be over.”

Ski patrollers sometimes argue for more pay on the grounds that the cost of living is high in ski towns and they are responsible for people’s safety. Patrollers’ duties include attending to injured skiers and the controlled release of avalanches with explosives when nobody is in range.

Even without a strike, Telluride has yet to get going fully this season, with unusually warm weather meaning just 20 of the resort’s 149 trails have been able to open.

Patrollers around the Rocky Mountain region have been voting on unionizing recently.

Last year an almost two-week strike closed many runs and caused long lift lines at Utah’s Park City Mountain Resort. That strike ended when Colorado-based Vail Resorts acceded to demands including a $2-an-hour base pay increase and raises for senior ski patrollers.
