Arizona Diamondbacks vs. New York Yankees betting picks and predictions

Arizona Diamondbacks Moneyline (+105)

Our first prediction for this game between the Diamondbacks and Yankees targets the Diamondbacks to win. They are projected to start Merrill Kelly on Thursday, who is 1-0 with an ERA of 1.69.

In his first start he pitched 5.1 innings while allowing one earned run and just three hits. However, Kelly only struck out one batter and had four walks, which will need to improve in this game against the Yankees.

As for New York, they are projected to start Carlos Carrasco.

This will be his first start of the season and in his only appearance to date he allowed three earned runs in 2.0 innings, giving him an ERA of 13.50.

The Yankees have already struggled against the Diamondbacks in the first two games of the series, so with Arizona putting out what looks to be one of their best starters, backing Arizona to win at +105 will be our first best bet.

Over 9.5 Total Runs (-120)

Our second prediction for this game focuses on backing the over. It has only been a week and the Yankees have already been putting up huge numbers offensively.

The Yankees are averaging 8.8 runs per game, but their pitching has not been lights out, as they are allowing 5.0 runs per game.

Arizona, on the other hand, is averaging 6.3 runs per game and allowing 4.83 runs per game

The over has cashed in four of the Diamondbacks' first six games and three of the Yankees' first five games. This also includes one of the two games in this series.

For that reason, we will also be backing Over 9.5 Total Runs at -120 in this game on Thursday night.
