Key Stats
New York Yankees
The New York Yankees will have Carlos Rodón on the mound for today’s game. Rodón is coming off from 4.1 innings pitched and four strikeouts and currently has a 2.08 ERA. Anthony Volpe currently leads the Yankees with a .529 average and a .619 OBP. Oswaldo Cabrera has the team high of two home runs, and seven RBIs, while Juan Soto has ten hits for the year.
Arizona Diamondbacks
For the Arizona Diamondbacks, Merrill Kelly will take the mound against the Yankees. Kelly currently has a 1.35 ERA and eight strikeouts. Ketel Marte is leading the Diamondbacks in batting average with .375, hits with 9, and .414 OBP. Lourdes Gurriel Jr is currently tied with home runs with Christian Walker with three but leads team RBIs with ten this season.
Game Prediction
With the Diamondback’s Merrill Kelly coming off a stellar start and the Yankee’s hitting being sluggish. This game will be close. Rodón is also coming off a good start against the Astros, which can make this game difficult for the Diamondbacks. The numbers are leaning towards the Yankees due to star power, but the D’Backs pitching has better numbers. I am rolling with Arizona to get the job done at home tonight.
Final Pick
Arizona Diamondbacks ML (-105)
