Game Overview
The Arizona Diamondbacks are looking to secure a sweep against the New York Yankees in the third game of their series. Arizona is currently leading the series 2-0. The Diamondbacks have been strong at the plate, finishing the previous season first in runs per game and second in batting average. Meanwhile, the Yankees have struggled in the starting rotation but maintain a formidable lineup capable of high production at home.
Key Factors to Consider
- The Diamondbacks have shown strong offensive performance, particularly on the road, while the Yankees have struggled with starting pitching but boast a potent home offense. Merrill Kelly will start for Arizona, while Carlos Carrasco takes the mound for New York.
