@MrActionJunkie1 Plays for Saturday (dropped on the podcast)
NRFI: Tampa Bay at New York Yankees (-113)
5th start of the season for Nestor Cortes, only 1 good start when he tossed 8 shutout innings against the Marlins. 4.50 ERA, 1.14 WHIP. I'm hoping for a 2022 like start today from Cortes at home against a familiar foe. Zach Eflin goes for the Rays, 2 good and 2 bad starts so far. Last start at Yankee Stadium, 6 innings - 0 runs back in August. I would love a clean opening frame for both pitchers.
NRFI: Miami Marlins at Chicago Cubs (-105)
I refuse to believe Jesus Luzardo is going to drop-off like this. 3.32 ERA in 2022, 3.63 ERA last year, 7.65 ERA this year. Luzardo has given up 12 runs over his last 2 starts. Cubbies batters are a career 11 for 54 against him, .204 BA. Javier Assad is on the bump for the Cubs, 2.16 ERA, 0.96 WHIP this year. 3.05 ERA last year. Wind in or out, I'll bet the NRFI.
NRFI: Baltimore Orioles at Kansas City Royals (-138)
Corbin Burnes and his 2.28 ERA for the O's, Cole Ragans and his 1.93 ERA for the Royals. These 2 pitchers dueled in Baltimore back on April 3rd, Ragans gave up 1 hit, 0 runs over 6.1 innings. Burnes gave up 9 hits, 2 runs over 5.2 innings in that game. Both teams can score but I'll take good pitching over good hitting.

NRFI: Arizona Diamondbacks at San Francisco Giants (-130)
The Diamondbacks had an unbelievable 17 run day yesterday. If there's one thing I learned from my years of watching baseball those bats will cool off. On top of that, Zac Gallen and his 1.64 ERA is on the mount today, and this just seems like a low scoring game and a great NRFI.
YRFI: Texas Rangers at Atlanta Braves (-120)
Although this is a decent pitching matchup with Eovaldi and Morton, the Braves top of the lineup is extremely dangerous and can pop off at any time. This is a vibes play and sometimes vibes succeed knowledge.
