New York Yankees vs Arizona Diamondbacks Prediction & Picks - MLB

Prediction published on 4/1/25, 3:51 PM  by Carlos Zabala in MLB Picks

The topic of the "torpedo bats" that some Yankees players are using this season, including Jazz Chisholm and Volpe, has generated and continues to generate discussion on social media. Now, interest is generated by whether or not the Yankees can maintain the great offensive momentum they showed at Yankee Stadium in the opening series against the Brewers against the Diamondbacks, but the pitching duel between Will Warren and Diamondbacks ace Burnes places the Yankees as betting underdogs for the first time in 2025.

It's also a head-to-head duel between the two position players who had the best start in 2025: Judge, who hit three home runs in Game 2 and one in Game 3 against the Brewers, and Venezuelan Eugenio Suarez of the D-backs, who achieved the same number in the four-game series against the Cubs.

In April 2024, last season, the Yankees visited Chase Field, winning that series two games to one.

Will Warren had no chance of securing a spot in the Yankees' starting rotation until injuries to Gil and Cole occurred, and a strong spring training program led Boone to ultimately opt for the 25-year-old right-hander.
