In one of the MLB Games today, the Arizona Diamondbacks will visit Yankee Stadium and take on the New York Yankees on Monday to start the final week of Major League Baseball play.
The game on Monday afternoon is a makeup for the game that was scheduled for Saturday and was rained out.
This is a monster game for the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Diamondbacks are 82-73 on the season. That’s second in the National League West.
But Arizona is fifth in the National League, so good for wildcard No. 2. The Diamondbacks are just ½ game ahead of the Chicago Cubs and 1.5 ahead of Miami.
For the Yankees, they will look to play spoiler. New York comes into the game with a 78-77 record in 2023.

Arizona Diamondbacks vs. New York Yankees Betting Preview
After five straight wins, the Diamondbacks fell on Friday. But, after a rain out on Saturday, they bounced back with a big win on Sunday. The Diamondbacks saw Zac Gallen again throw a gem, with six strong innings of scoreless ball. Gallen struck out eight in the win.
On the offensive side, Corbin Carroll continues to shine. Carroll picked up his 50th stolen base of the season, and that goes along with his 25 home runs.
Christian Walker is another guy with a monster offensive season for the Diamondbacks. Walker has clubbed 30 home runs on the season.
Those two guys are leading Arizona Diamondbacks statistics offensively, but their MLB MVP odds are still slim.
The Arizona Diamondbacks will send Merrill Kelly to the mound in this game. Kelly has been solid this season for Arizona. The 34-year-old is 12-7 on the season, with a 3.37 earned run average. He has thrown 165.2 innings and struck out 177 batters in 2023.
The last time Kelly made a start was on September 20th against the Giants. That was his 27th start, and he picked up a win over the Giants.
Playoff Dreams Shattered
On Friday – Aaron Judge clubbed three home runs to help the Yankees win the game. But the loss on Sunday officially sealed their fate of not making the postseason in 2023.
It will be the first time since 2016 they are not in the playoffs. Judge missed a huge chunk of the season but still has 35 home runs and leads the team with 71 runs batted in.
Clarke Schmidt is the starting pitcher for the New York Yankees. Schmidt is 9-9 in 2023, with a 4.65 earned run average. The 27-year-old last made a start on September 19th against Toronto. That was his 29th start of his season.
In that game, he took a loss, allowing four hits and four runs over five innings. New York Yankees picks have been tough to make with their inconsistent offense all season.
Arizona Diamondbacks vs. New York Yankees Betting Prediction
Look for Arizona to pick up the need they need to get. The Diamondbacks know they need a few wins, and this is one they can pick up. Kelly is going to be ready to throw in this one and come up big.
- Our final Diamondbacks vs Yankees betting analysis: the Arizona Diamondbacks -1.5 (+150) is the pick to make here on Monday afternoon.
