Arizona Diamondbacks vs. New York Yankees 9/25/23 Betting Odds
| Team | Moneyline | Spread | Total |

Arizona Diamondbacks Analysis
The Diamondbacks have demonstrated their offensive prowess this season to an astounding degree, boasting an outstanding.253 batting average to remain one of the league’s more consistent squads. Their cumulative 714 runs, highlighted by 163 home runs, illustrate an offense which has both been consistent and explosive at various points during their campaign – especially when tight games require them to bring players home quickly to win!
However, upon taking a closer look at their defensive stats, some vulnerabilities become clear. With an ERA and WHIP of 4.55 and 1.33 respectively, their pitching staff have experienced difficulty keeping opposing batters under tight control; opponents have averaged.253 against them which suggests tightening of fielding may be needed as we head closer towards the end of their season.
Merrill Kelly has been one of Arizona’s standout performers this season, boasting an impressive 12-7 win-loss record that speaks volumes about his consistency. Boasting an outstanding 3.37 ERA and 1.2 WHIP over 165.2 innings pitched, Kelly boasts an incredible 177 strikeout rate that makes him an intimidating force against New York.
New York Yankees Analysis
The New York Yankees, known for their prolific offensive output, appear to be in something of a slump this season. Their batters have struggled getting on base and driving runs home; however, their powerful hitting capabilities – evidenced by 213 homers hit so far – give hope that when they connect they do so with force.
On defense, the Yankees appear to be outperforming Arizona. Their combined ERA of 3.96 and WHIP of 1.23 indicates tighter control on the mound and superior fielding capabilities. Limiting opponents to an batting average of only.233 speaks well of them when contests become tighter.
Clarke Schmidt is a mixed bag. While his 9-9 record and 4.65 ERA do not exude confidence, they should not underestimate his capabilities; over 151 innings pitched he’s recorded 143 strikeouts; if he finds his groove early in the game he could prove pivotal in tipping the balance to favor of the Yankees.
Arizona Diamondbacks vs. New York Yankees Against the Spread
The Diamondbacks have recently enjoyed an impressive run, showing resilience and determination. Six out of their last eight games went OVER total and six out of seven outings this month saw them go 6-1 straight up (SU), suggesting they may have found their groove just in time. But one potential flaw in their armor lies within their road performance: recent road performances of 1-4SU over their past five outings serves as a stark reminder of challenges they must contend with when away from home while their 5-12SU against American League opponents should provide further cause for bettors to take note.
Conversely, the New York Yankees have seen better days recently; particularly at home where their record has been dismal in recent seasons at Yankee Stadium (6-12 SU in their last 18 games there). Their overall recent form has also been less than ideal; going 2-4-1 over their last 6 contests. When these two teams meet at Yankee Stadium however, 8 out of their last 10 meetings stayed under, and bettors should exercise caution when betting this matchup given New York’s inconsistent home record and Arizona’s road struggles.
Arizona Diamondbacks vs. New York Yankees Free Pick
Based on odds, trends, team stats, and starting pitchers, here are the picks:
Moneyline: Arizona Diamondbacks (-113). Given their recent form and the performance of Merrill Kelly, they edge out the Yankees slightly.
Spread: Arizona Diamondbacks -1.5 (+150). Although the Yankees have the home advantage, the Diamondbacks’ current form makes them a good pick to win by more than one run.
Total: Under 7.5 (-110). Considering the pitching matchup and recent UNDER trends, particularly when these two teams meet at Yankee Stadium, the total might just stay under.
Predicted Score: Arizona Diamondbacks 4, New York Yankees 3.
Conclusion: Every game brings with it some uncertainty; for those looking for daily MLB picks, however, the Diamondbacks appear likely to pull through this matchup. Still, be wary of lineup changes, weather conditions, or any last-minute developments before finalizing bets.
