@MrActionJunkie1 Plays for Sunday (dropped on the podcast)

Play 1: NRFI - Washington Nationals at Boston Red Sox (-138)

  • MacKenzie Gore for the Nationals, struggled last out against Toronto giving up 6 runs over 3 innings bumping up the ERA to 3.44 on the season. 1st inning has been a good inning for him, 7/7 without giving up a run. Brayan Bello returns for Boston, 3.04 ERA on the season. Struggled in his lone rehab start but he's 5/5 in the first this year without giving up a run. I'll take my chances. 

Play 2: NRFI - Houston Astros at Detroit Tigers (-125)

  • Justin Verlander returns to the MotorCity after a terrible start in New York allowing 7 runs over 5 innings against the Yankees. At age 41, this could easily be his final start in Detroit. I expect him to have a little extra today for the Tigers. Jack Flaherty is on the bump for Detroit, mixed results this year with a 3.86 ERA. I don't love this play, but I'm going to go with it.
