@MrActionJunkie1 Plays for Friday (dropped on the podcast)
NRFI - Detroit Tigers at Arizona Diamondbacks (-130)
- Ryne Nelson goes for the D-Backs, 5.33 ERA and a 1.70 WHIP on the season. One of the bright spots this season for Nelson is that he's yet to give up a run in the 1st inning. Another positive note, Tigers rank 24th in OPS vs. righties and 22nd in runs scored per game. Tarik Skubal gets the call for the Tigers, he's basically an automatic play for me. 5-0 record, 2.02 ERA, 0.86 WHIP. Road numbers are even better than his home numbers. NRFI it is.
NRFI - New York Mets at Miami Marlins (-130)
- Rookie Christian Scott gets the call for the Mets, he's faced the Rays & Braves in him only starts, 2.84 ERA, 1.11 WHIP. 0.71 WHIP in AAA over 25.1 innings before getting called up. Marlins rank 28th in OPS vs. righties so that should help. Jesus Luzardo makes his 2nd start since returning from the DL, 5.2 innings allowing 2 against the Phillies last out. Mets rank 24th vs. lefties, Mets hitters are a career 19 for 77, .247 BA against Luzardo. I have a feeling that I can keep a clean first tonight, give me the NRFI.

NRFI: White Sox/Yankees (-105)
If you watched the College Football Central Show with Mr. Action Junkie and I, you remember that every week I bet Kent State TT Under. Well, White Sox NRFI, might be in that same sort of category to bet often. The White Sox are the worst hitting team in baseball scoring less than 3 runs per game. Although the Yankees are about as good as they come in terms of hitting, at a -105 line, I'll willing to bet they don't score a run.
NRFI: Padres/Braves (-125)
I know that both of these pitchers would want that ERA that they have to go down this season, as both Matt Waldron for the Padres and Max Fried for the Braves have above 3 ERAs. However, the Braves are not very good against Waldron historically, as only two batters in the lineup are hitting .300 or better against him. Fried is a very solid pitcher that is going to bounce back, and I see this first inning being a quick 3 up and 3 down both ways.
