Yankees vs Diamondbacks Prediction
Arizona was able to give New York its first loss of the season on Tuesday night, but they needed a two-out grand slam in the eighth to get the job done. The Diamondbacks have a very solid offensive attack, but their pitching staff has allowed at least five runs in three of their five games. New York also has a great lineup, and they have scored 5, 12, and 20 runs in their last three games. I don’t love the pitching matchup in this game, but I do think the Yankees will get to Gallen early. Take New York to win here.
