New York Yankees vs Arizona Diamondbacks Pick
Burnes remains a talented pitcher, but ESPN lists fewer than 8 innings for him this season, making his workload and effectiveness difficult to trust. Warren has provided New York with a much larger body of solid work, while the Yankees enter with the stronger overall record. Arizona could keep this close at home, but New York should have the advantage once the game reaches the bullpens. Take the Yankees to manufacture enough offense to secure the road victory.
