NY Yankees (17-11) at Arizona (16-13)
When: Tuesday, April 30th, 2019
Where: Chase Field,
Phoenix, Arizona
Time: 9:40 ET | TV: YES, FS Arizona
Opening Odds: Arizona -150/8.5
Despite injuries to nearly half of their 40-man roster, the New York Yankees are enjoying a very successful road trip out west that concludes with two games against the Arizona Diamondbacks beginning Tuesday night at Chase Field. New York is 6-1 on their nine-game road trek after sweeping the San Francisco Giants this past weekend and will take on another NL West team before heading home to battle the Minnesota Twins this coming weekend. The Yankees are getting contributions from players not expected to be part of the team’s plan for 2019 and have scored 6.8 runs a game over the last 10 – winning nine – after totaling 24 in a three-game sweep of the Giants. Catcher Gary Sanchez, who is back in the lineup after also missing some time, blasted a grand slam in Saturday’s 6-4 victory and added a two-run blast in Sunday’s 11-5 triumph. First baseman Luke Voit, who was named AL Player of the Week on Monday, has reached base safely in each of his last 39 games. The Diamondbacks, who dropped their second game in a row after a five-game winning streak, got a pair of home runs from red-hot third baseman Eduardo Escobar on Sunday but fell to the Cubs in 15 innings, 6-5. Arizona sits 2.5 games behind first place Los Angeles entering Monday’s action and are just 5-7 at Chase Field this season.
Pitchers: Yankees – CC Sabathia (1-0, 2.40 ERA) | Diamondbacks – Zack Greinke (4-1, 3.72)
CC Sabathia is making his rounds in this his last season of baseball after he announced that he will retire after this season, and so far, so good in 2019. The hefty lefty didn’t allow an earned run in over 10 innings against the Chicago White Sox and Kansas City, but was knocked around by the L.A. Angels in his last start. Sabathia surrendered five runs – four earned – and six hits across five innings in a 6-5 win on Wednesday. Sabathia, who needs three strikeouts to reach 3,000 for his career, is 2-0 with a 2.30 ERA in two starts against Arizona but the last one was 2013.

Greinke’s overall ERA still looks a little high, but he got off to a rough start and has been brilliant ever since. The veteran righty has not allowed a run over this last two starts covering 13 innings, while giving up just five hits in that span. His best outing was his last when he allowed just two hits in seven scoreless innings with seven strikeouts in a 5-0 win over Pittsburgh. Greinke is also hitting .462 this season with two home runs and a 1.231 slugging percentage.
The Yankees are still pounding the ball and winning games despite a depleted lineup, but this will only be the second team they’ve faced all season with a winning record. The other team was the Houston Astros, who swept New York in three games. Greinke is in a groove right now and the Diamondbacks can hit. I’ll ride Arizona in this one.
