Diamondbacks vs. Yankees Predictions For MLB on MLB Network, 4/2

Sundays are generally close-out days for series in the MLB, and such was the case for the first weekend of the season for both the Diamondbacks and Yankees. There were also exactly two teams that closed out their series by scoring double-digit runs - Arizona and New York.

After Monday off for both teams, they got their series started against one another last night.

Now that we’re approaching a week into the MLB season, we’re starting to see aces back on the mound, which is key to keep in mind for any Diamondbacks vs. Yankees predictions.

 

 

 

Arizona Diamondbacks: Gallen Goes Again

Speaking of those aces, that means that Arizona’s Zac Gallen is back on the mound. That’s right, despite the Diamondbacks snatching Corbin Burnes from the Baltimore Orioles to the tune of six years and $210 million, it’s still Gallen listed as the ace. Ever since his breakout season in 2022 (12-4 with a 2.54 record followed by 17-9 and 14-6 records), Zac Gallen has been one of the most under-the-radar starters in the MLB. 

Of course, the market he plays in is certainly a factor, as wearing the Yankee pinstripes would certainly have him in the headlines more often. Regardless, he’s looking to bounce back from an Opening Day loss to the Chicago Cubs. 

 

 

 

New York Yankees: Carlos Rodon’s Wife Making Headlines

On the flip side, lefty Carlos Rodon is looking to start his season with a 2-0 record after a solid Opening Day performance to begin the Yankees sweep over the Milwaukee Brewers. It’s exactly what the Bronx Bombers needed after learning they’d be starting the season without ace Gerrit Cole once again.

While we’ll be focused on his performance on the mound tonight for our Diamondbacks vs. Yankees predictions, it was Carlos’ wife that made news recently. After a remarkable defensive play by Yankees’ shortstop Anthony Volpe, it was Ashley Rodon that shared the MLB tweet of the play, labeling it with just the word “insane.”

Diamondbacks vs. Yankees Best Bet: Arizona Money Line (+125 at BetMGM Sportsbook)

New York may be favored tonight, but we see value on the other side for the best bet from our Diamondbacks vs. Yankees predictions. Rather than getting cute with some starting pitcher props or the like, we’re just going to straight up take Arizona on the money line.

We’ll happily take the plus-money price on the smaller-market name rather than the inflated price of New York, even with the pitching matchup. In fact, especially because of it. There’s no denying that Rodon should not be taken lightly, the Arizona is also far from afraid of the lefty - they love facing southpaws.

Last season, Arizona finished the year with an impressive .794 OPS against lefties. Only the Los Angeles Dodgers (.795), the defending World Series champs, were better, and barely at that. While the Diamondbacks haven’t gotten a ton of opportunities to showcase that yet this season, we trust their recent performance against Carlos Rodon.

When these teams met last year, we had the exact same pitching matchup for what was the series finale. That was a 7-1 victory for Arizona (also on the road), and it wasn’t as though it was the bullpen that they took advantage of. Five of those seven runs came off Rodon, and on the flip side, Zac Gallen was great.

He went six full innings, allowing just three hits and striking out eight batters, two of which were Aaron Judge. Now, they didn’t have these new torpedo bats, but we’ve also seen Arizona do their fair share of damage at the plate.

For some great value, we’re locking in the best bet from our Diamondbacks vs. Yankees on Arizona’s money line (+125 at BetMGM Sportsbook).
