Arizona Diamondbacks (80-73) will seek to revive their playoff chances when they host New York Yankees (88-63) tonight at Chase Field. The D-backs will want to open this three-game series with a win as their hopes of reaching the playoffs continue to fade with nine games to go. They’re coming off a 2-1 series loss against the Marlins, leaving them four games behind the second-placed Padres in the NL West. Still, their resilience has been commendable this year.

New York Yankees, meanwhile, have already clinched a playoff spot in the AL East. They’re second in the standings, five games behind the Rays and 5.5 games ahead of the Red Sox. With 10 days to go, the Yankees will now have their eyes set on clinching the division after defeating the Twins 2-1 on the road this week. The Yanks have taken seven of their last 10 assignments, making them the exciting -120 betting favorites tonight.

Our Arizona Diamondbacks vs New York Yankees Prediction

It’s difficult to look past a win for the Yankees in this contest. They’re the in-form side, with a solid 46-32 record on the road this year. The Yanks have also looked sharp in offense lately, scoring an average of 4.59 runs in their last 10 assignments. However, the starting pitchers suggest we shouldn’t expect under 8.5 runs. The D-backs will start Eduardo Rodriguez, who has an impressive 15-6 record and a standout 2.62 ERA. He has looked even sharper in the last five games, posting a stellar 2.17 ERA. The Yankees will play Gerrit Cole, who is 8-9 with a solid 3.67 ERA this season. He could be the weakest link for the visitors, having registered a 5.02 ERA in his last five starts. Still, we think the Yankees will edge it.
