New York Post

It’s all ‘ad’ing up for NY fan Upton

- By LAURA ITALIANO litaliano@o@nypost.com

Look who loves the Yankees! Just in time for the Yanks to take on the Astros in Game 2 of the American League Championsh­ip Series, the New York Post has taken out a half-page ad in Saturday’s Houston Chronicle, featuring this charming photo of devoted Bombers bombshell Kate Upton.

We’re hoping this Post page from the past — showing a beaming Upton wearing a Yankees cap at a home game in 2013 — will be especially appreciate­d by Astros pitcher Justin Verlander, who is Houston’s Game 2 starter and Upton’s fiancé.

“We know who she’s really rooting for . . .” The Post’s ad digs.

It’s signed, warmly, “From your friends at the New York Post.”

The Sports Illustrate­d swimsuit stunner has been dating Verlander for five years, since his days with the Detroit Tigers.

“I used to be a really big Yankees fan,” Upton admitted on “Live! with Kelly and Michael” a year into the relationsh­ip. “But I’m sleeping with the enemy.” Just not on game days, though. In February, Upton infamously admitted on Bravo’s “Watch What Happens Live” that Verlander (right) abstains before a game.

“Absolutely none,” she dished.

Here’s hoping this ad provides ovides the necessary buzzkill forr Verlander, who was traded to the Astros last month — or at least takes some of the zip off his fastball. ball.
