Arizona vs New York Stats

Arizona Diamondbacks

The Diamondbacks are coming off back-to-back wins against the Yankees, with Zac Gallen delivering an impressive performance on Wednesday. Despite a late scare in the bullpen, A.J. Puk secured the save. Lourdes Gurriel Jr. and Ketel Marte fueled the offense, while Eugenio Suárez leads the team in home runs and RBIs. Josh Naylor boasts a .400 batting average. Merrill Kelly will take the mound on Thursday after a strong performance in his last outing. Arizona is ranked 2 in offense, #23 in defense, with a power ranking of 8 and a 4-2 record this season.

New York Yankees Analysis

The New York Yankees are aiming to recover from back-to-back losses against Arizona, with Aaron Judge standing out as a top performer despite the recent defeat. Judge has been on fire in the 2025 season, hitting .545 with four home runs and 11 RBIs in just three games. However, the Yankees' offense struggled against Gallen in their last game, with Anthony Volpe's late homer providing a glimmer of hope. Carlos Carrasco will make his second start for the team, looking to bounce back after a tough 2024 season with Cleveland. The Yankees' bullpen has been a concern early in the season due to inconsistent performances. Overall, the Yankees have a power ranking of 2, ranking #1 in offense with an average of 10.25 runs per game and #24 in defense, giving up an average of 5.25 points per game. The team currently holds a 3-2 record, while Arizona went 1-2 in their recent matchups against New York.

Diamondbacks poised for sweep as Kelly looks to stifle Yankees' offense against erratic Carrasco

Many may not anticipate the Yankees being swept in this upcoming matchup, however, it presents an intriguing clash between Merrill Kelly's unwavering performance and Carlos Carrasco's erratic tendencies. With Carrasco's challenges in the previous season and Arizona's current offensive strength, the Diamondbacks seem primed to secure a sweep. It is projected that Kelly will effectively contain the Yankees' formidable hitters, ultimately guiding Arizona to a triumph in the game.
