Diamondbacks at Yankees picks and predictions

Prediction

Diamondbacks 6, Yankees 3

Moneyline

The Diamondbacks are hitting well of late. In their 5-game winning streak, they have scored at least 6 runs in every game. The Yankees have lost 7 of the last 8 games in which they have not reached 4 runs.

New York is only 40-38 at home this season.

BET DIAMONDBACKS (+105).

Run line/Against the spread

The Diamondbacks are 82-71 ATS overall this season, compared to the Yankees’ 74-79 ATS mark. But betting the Diamondbacks +1.5 at -190 doesn’t make sense.

You can pass, but with Arizona having beaten their opponents by 2 or more runs in 4 of the last 5 games, you might like to play with a small wager of an alternate line of DIAMONDBACKS -1.5 (+155).

Over/Under

None of the Yankees’ last 4 games have hit 9 total runs but the 3 before that did while 5 of the last 8 for Arizona have reached at least 9 total runs. Also, the last 3 wins Arizona has had with Pfaadt on the mound have all reached at least 9 runs.

BET OVER 8 (-115)
