MLB Betting Preview: Diamondbacks vs Yankees
Moneyline: NY Yankees -117 | Total: 8.0
The Yankees (-117 ML) look to stay perfect when they open a three-game home set against the Diamondbacks on Tuesday night, with the total set at 8.0 runs.
New York Yankees Outlook
New York is off to a red-hot 3-0 start, scoring a blistering 36 runs and mashing 15 home runs across their opening sweep of the Brewers. Aaron Judge is leading the charge, already belting four homers in just three games—far ahead of his notoriously slow starts in previous years. Judge went yard three times in a 20-9 explosion on Saturday and added another blast Sunday in a 12-3 win. With his power bat heating up early, the Yankees are quickly asserting themselves as the most dangerous lineup in baseball.
New York’s offense is rewriting early-season history books, joining elite company for scoring and slugging output. Players like Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Ben Rice are also contributing to the early fireworks, helping the Yankees go deep nine times on Saturday alone—a new franchise record.
Will Warren gets the start for New York and will look to build confidence after a shaky 2023 season. He earned a rotation spot due to injuries, including to Gerrit Cole. Warren went 4-1 with a 5.09 ERA in the spring, and while he wasn’t lights-out, the bats should give him plenty of run support.
Arizona Diamondbacks Outlook
Arizona (2-2) is coming off a series split with the Cubs but finished strong with a 10-6 comeback win on Sunday. A massive eight-run eighth inning fueled that victory, capped off by clutch hits from Lourdes Gurriel Jr. and Josh Naylor. That kind of late-inning explosiveness gives the D-backs confidence heading into the Bronx.
The Diamondbacks hand the ball to newly acquired ace Corbin Burnes, who signed a $210 million deal in the offseason. Burnes, who finished 15-9 with a 2.92 ERA in 2024, is making his season debut and has a solid track record against New York—despite an 0-2 record, he boasts a 1.42 ERA and even flirted with a no-hitter against the Yankees in his last outing.
Betting Prediction
Despite Burnes’ elite stuff and dominance against the Yankees in past appearances, it’s hard to fade this Yankees lineup right now. Judge is locked in, and the supporting cast is raking. While Burnes should keep the game tight early, New York’s offense has shown the ability to pile on runs quickly and late.
Score Prediction:
Yankees 6, Diamondbacks 4
Best Bet:
Yankees ML (-117)
Over 8.0 (-115)
Aaron Judge to hit a home run (+215)
Will Warren over 4.5 strikeouts (+110)
The Yankees are dangerous right now—ride the hot bats while they’re burning through pitching.
