Arizona Diamondbacks vs Philadelphia Phillies Prediction, Odds and Picks for Friday, 05/02/25

Merrill Kelly will take the mound for the Diamondbacks as they take on Jesus Luzardo and the Phillies on Friday night. Kelly has allowed 2 earned runs or fewer in 5 of his 6 starts this season, and has held his opponents to a lowly .197 batting average. Philadelphia’s offense has struggled with consistency, and Kelly could be in a solid spot to put together another strong outing. He’s had success against the Phillies in his career, as he boasts a 2.92 ERA and .191 BAA in 24.2 career innings against them.

In his first year as a Phillie, Luzardo is settling in nicely to Philadelphia’s rotation. The 27-year-old lefty owns a solid 1.73 ERA and 1.07 WHIP through 6 starts this season. He will face an Arizona offense that ranks 4th in the league with a team OPS of .769, but that number drops to .646 against lefties, which sits 18th in the league. The Phillies are coming off an up-and-down series against the Nationals, while the Diamondbacks are playing their fourth consecutive road game. Look to the under in this one.
