T.M. Selection: Diamondbacks.

New York just swept the Astros on the road in Houston and I say it has a classic "letdown" here on the road in this interleague contest and in this difficult away venue. Arizona took three of four from Colorado over the weekend. Luis Gil is 1-1 with a 3.78 ERA in seven career starts but hasn't pitched in the Big Leagues since 2022. Ryne Nelson counters for the home side, and he went 8-8 with a 5.31 ERA last year. I think Nelson is the correct call here at home, as his upside is high here to open the season. All things considered, I think this is a great situational play.

T.M. Prediction: 6-4 Arizona.
