Arizona Diamondbacks Season 2023 Odds, Props, & Futures IBD

The Arizona Diamondbacks are in an unfortunate position. Building a contending team is hard enough when rival teams in the division put up dominant MLB team stats. Breaking the glass ceiling in the National League West over the past few seasons has required opening up the wallet and bringing in top talent.

The Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres have world championship aspirations. That puts a cloud over people looking at Arizona Diamondbacks season odds. Here are some props and futures on the Diamondbacks for the upcoming 2023 MLB season.

Over/under 75.5 wins

Making a decision on the Arizona Diamondbacks over/under is tough because of where the division is headed. The Padres and Dodgers are very good and will likely both be in the discussion for the NL Pennant and World Series. However, the San Francisco Giants fell off last season and don’t seem primed to come back this season.

Things that people making MLB picks on the Diamondbacks would look favorably on the top end of their rotation. Zac Gallen had a major breakthrough last season, compiling a 12-4 record with a 2.54 ERA in 31 starts.

Along the way, Gallen also set personal records for strikeouts, with 192, and innings pitched, 184, in a season. Merrill Kelly is also a strong starter and a good No. 2 to complement Gallen.

Beyond that, though, Arizona has some questions. Veteran pitcher Madison Bumgarner is as competitive as ever but may be at the end of his career. What they added also may impact Arizona Diamondbacks season odds.

The Diamondbacks brought in veteran Evan Longoria to help platoon at third base. Arizona also brought in some reinforcements with Kyle Lewis, a former American League Rookie of the Year, and veteran outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr.

Carroll set to make waves

When it comes to Arizona Diamondbacks season odds, one thing most people agree on is that outfielder Corbin Carroll has a lot of talent. The Diamondbacks are hoping to maximize those skills to make Arizona more appealing to those making MLB picks. Corbin is the favorite to bring home the award at +350.

Carroll, a 22-year-old from Seattle, was drafted in the first round by the Diamondbacks in 2019. During Carroll’s first call-up last season, he showed promise during a 32-game stint. Carroll hit .260 and smashed four home runs, and drove in 14 runs. 

Carroll also had nine doubles and two triples. If he can build on his strong start, Caroll will be a contender to be the NL’s top rookie.

Winning Division, let alone World Series is unlikely

The Padres and Dodgers returned loaded rosters this season. Arizona is +6000 to win the NL West, which is the fourth-best odds to win the division. Even the Giants, who are +1100, are distant from the top two teams in the division.

Last season, the Diamondbacks made a major improvement, shocking some looking at MLB odds by going from 51 wins to 74. However, despite that major improvement, Arizona still finished 37 games out of first place last year.

Arizona is +10000 to win the World Series, which is toward the bottom of the list of potential champions.

Gallen has a chance to be one of NL’s top pitchers

Making Arizona Diamondbacks season predictions show that Gallen’s rise in stock has put him among the top contenders on the senior circuit for a Cy Young. Gallen, who started his career with the Miami Marlins, has grown quickly while playing with the Diamondbacks. He has been tabbed with the eight-best odds to win the award.

Looking at the Arizona Diamondbacks odds, Gallen is +1600 to win the Cy Young. Marlins’ ace pitcher Sandy Alcantara has the best odds of winning the NL Cy Young at +450. Milwaukee’s Corbin Burnes is second at +550.

Can Arizona steal a spot in the playoffs?

The MLB adding a third Wild Card in each league added opportunities for teams to try and stay in the playoff race every season. While finishing in the top two in the NL West may be outside of the Diamondbacks’ grasp, Arizona may have the pitching to compete for third pace.

Looking around the National League, the Central Division will struggle to send two teams to the playoffs. The NL East could be loaded again, but much like the West Division, there is a chance the Atlanta Braves, New York Mets, and Philadelphia Phillies will all spend time beating up on each other and make each other’s lives difficult.

If things break well for Arizona, the Diamondbacks making the playoffs at +440 may be worth taking a flyer on them.
