NRFI - Toronto Blue Jays at Detroit Tigers (-130)
Jose Berrios on the bump for the Blue Jays, 2.98 ERA, 1.11 WHIP on the season. Road and recent numbers are not as good, I'm going to look past that since Detroit ranks 23rd in 1st inning runs scored. Reese Olson goes for the Tigers, 0-5 record, 2.16 ERA, 1.06 WHIP. Needless to say, he deserves better. Olson has a 0.84 ERA at home over 21.1 innings, 0.83 ERA in May, and he's given up 0 runs in the 1st inning over 9 starts allowing just 3 hits. Dream NRFI, let's see if it cashes.
NRFI - Seattle Mariners at Washington Nationals (-115)
These two teams rank 28th and 30th in 1st inning runs scored. That's a good start to a NRFI. Logan Gilbert goes for Seattle, 3.20 ERA on the season with a 1.01 WHIP. No issue with those numbers. Road, May, and 1st inning splits concern me, looking past it given his career numbers. Trevor Williams gets the call for the Nationals, 2.35 ERA, 1.09 WHIP. 1.65 ERA at home, 1.86 ERA in May, only 2 runs allowed in the 1st after 9 starts. I'm sold!
NRFI - New York Yankees at San Diego Padres (-120)
Let's do it again. Dylan Cease for the Padres, 3.05 ERA, 0.93 WHIP. Marcus Stroman for the Yankees, 3.05 ERA, 1.30 WHIP. 2.53 ERA on the road for Stroman, 2.22 ERA in May. Fingers crossed. I need 6 outs without a run.
