New York Yankees Analysis

The New York Yankees dominated the Milwaukee Brewers last week in a three-game series, outscoring them 36-14 and hitting 15 home runs. Pitcher Carlos Rodon will be starting Wednesday after a solid performance on Opening Day. Despite a history of struggling against the Diamondbacks, Rodon has shown success in recent matchups. The Yankees have a strong offense, ranking first in the league, but their defense ranks lower at 26th. Overall, the team is currently 3-0. The Diamondbacks have recently had success against the Yankees, winning 2 out of their last 3 matchups.

Yankees Ready to Flex Their Power Against Gallen and Diamondbacks

The New York Yankees have struggled against Zac Gallen, going just 7-for-81 with limited extra-base hits over the course of 12 scoreless innings. However, the Yankees recently demonstrated their power with custom-shaped bats, hitting an impressive 15 home runs in a three-game series. With hitters like Aaron Judge and Jazz Chisholm on a hot streak, Gallen faces a formidable challenge at Yankee Stadium this Wednesday. While the Arizona Diamondbacks showed strength against right-handed pitchers in their recent series, they struggled against left-handed pitchers. Given this matchup, it is expected that Carlos Rodon will perform well against Arizona, leading to a predicted victory for the Yankees in this upcoming game.
