NRFI: Oakland Athletics at Cleveland Guardians (-125)
Cleveland ranks 15th in OPS vs. righties, Oakland ranks 28th. Athletics rank 29th in runs per game, Cleveland ranks 5th. Tanner Bibee had a 2.98 ERA, 1.18 WHIP last year over 142 innings. Oakland scored 3 off him early in the year over 4 innings, I expect better today. I feel good about the top half. Bottom half scares me with Ross Stripling in the hill, veteran has a career 4.00 ERA but was over 5 last year and as again this year to start. He allowed 5 runs over 5 innings in his first meeting against Cleveland. Only 1 good start out of 4.
NRFI: Milwaukee Brewers at St. Louis Cardinals (-125)
Cardinals are 25th in OPS vs. righties, Brewers are 2nd. Nothing will be easy for Sonny Gray today, but he has tossed 11 scoreless innings to start the season with a 0.82 WHIP. Last season he had a 2.79 ERA with Minnesota. I always like good pitching over good hitting, so I feel good about the first 3 outs. Bottom of the 1st I'm counting on Colin Rea to continue his strong season, 2.70 ERA, 1.20 WHIP over his first 3 starts. Please no runs in the 1st.
