The Arizona Diamondbacks are playing for the first time this season while the New York Yankees are coming off a win. The Yankees are coming off a win in their previous game, while the Diamondbacks are looking to get back on track from a loss to the Diamondbacks. First pitch is set for 9:40 ET.

Yankees vs Diamondbacks

The Yankees and Diamondbacks will wrap up their series after the Yankees took the previous game by a score of 5-2. Luis Gil got the start for New York, going 4 2/3 innings and giving up just one earned run. Luke Weaver got the win out of the bullpen, while Victor Gonzalez picked up the save.

New York’s offense jumped out to an early 2-0 lead in the 2nd inning and added three more runs in the 3rd. The Diamondbacks didn’t get on the board until the 7th inning, and they scored their only other run in the 3rd. Anthony Volpe was the only player in the game to finish with more than two hits, going 4/4 with two doubles.

Ryne Nelson got the start for Arizona but took the loss after giving up four runs in 2 2/3 innings of work. Ketel Marte drove in both of Arizona’s runs but finished the game with just one hit.

Nestor Cortes Gets The Start For The Yankees

Nestor Cortes will be making his second start of the season for the New York Yankees as they take on the Arizona Diamondbacks on the road. Cortes had a solid first outing, going five innings and giving up four runs on five hits. He will be looking to improve on that performance and help the Yankees get back in the win column.

Yankees Offense Breakdown

For the Yankees, our player projections have Gleyber Torres as the most likely player to get a hit, with his total being the 23rd highest in the league today. Aaron Judge has the 3rd highest hits projection on the team, but his home run projection is the best on the team and 5th best in the league today. Juan Soto is 2nd in terms of hits and home runs for the Yankees, with his home run projection being 8th in the league today.

Zac Gallen Gets The Start For The Diamondbacks

After a strong first start, Zac Gallen will look to keep the momentum going as he faces the New York Yankees at home. In his first outing of the season, Gallen pitched five innings, allowing just one earned run on three hits. He’ll look to build on that performance and pick up another win for the Arizona Diamondbacks.

He has the highest total hits projection on the team and his home run projection is 2nd best on the team and 16th best in the league today. Christian Walker has the highest home run projection on the team and 15th best in the league today. Ketel Marte is 2nd on the team in total hits and 3rd in terms of home run projections.

 

Yankees vs Diamondbacks Prediction

 

Our predictions have the Yankees picking up a 5-4 road win over the Diamondbacks. With the Yankees being the underdogs, we recommend taking them on the money line, where they are paying out at +100.

Looking at the starting pitchers, we have Nestor Cortes finishing with five strikeouts compared to Zac Gallen with five as well. However, Gallen is projected to finish with a higher ERA than Cortes.
