NRFI - Minnesota Twins at Pittsburgh Pirates (-115)
- Twins have yet to score a run in Pittsburgh, 0 for 18 innings. I'm hoping that Jared Jones can stretch that to 19 today. Jones went 6 innings without giving up a run against the Dodgers last out, 3.25 ERA, 1.01 WHIP. Bailey Ober gets the call for Minnesota, 4.94 ERA, 1.13 WHIP on the season. Ober had a stretch this number giving 2 or fewer runs in 6 of 7 starts, Pirates rank 29th in OPS vs. righties. I'll give it a shot.
NRFI - Chicago Cubs at Cincinnati Reds (-110)
- Not my favorite park for a NRFI, still willing to risk it with Shota Imanaga on the bump for the Cubbies. 1.88 ERA on the season, only 2 first inning runs allowed this season in 11 starts. Frankie Montas gets the call for the Reds, flirted with a no-no into the 7th at Colorado, 7 shutout innings last out. Home ERA is better than is road, day ERA better than his night. Let's do it.
NRFI - Milwaukee Brewers at Detroit Tigers (-125)
- Tarik Skubal Day for the Tigers, love his numbers plus the Brewers numbers aren't nearly as good against lefties as righties. Bryse Wilson is on the bump for the Brew Crew, 3.35 ERA, 1.23 ERA in the 1st inning this year. Tigers rank 22nd in 1st inning runs scored, NRFI it is.
NRFI - Seattle Mariners at Kansas City Royals (-130)
- No shortage of runs in this series, 10-9 in the opener, 8-4 on Saturday. Cole Ragans for the Royals, 13 starts with 4 runs allowed in the 1st, solid 3.21 ERA on the year. Mariners rank 21st in OPS vs. lefties. George Kirby for Seattle, 4.05 ERA on the year, Royals are hitting a career .260 against him over 50 AB's. Nothing will be easy, hoping for 6 outs without a mark in the 1st.
NRFI - Los Angeles Dodgers at New York Yankees (-140)
- I'm going to play with fire considering the power at the top of these lineups. The Yankees rank #1 in YRFI bets, Dodgers rank #2 in YRFI bets. Yankee sticks are a career 20 for 103 vs. Tyler Glasnow, .194 BA against. Glasnow has a 2.93 ERA and 0.90 WHIP on the season. Luis Gil goes for the Yankees, 1.82 ERA, 0.92 WHIP. Gil has a 1.05 ERA at home, 1.50 ERA in the 1st inning. I always like good pitching over good hitting. I can't pass up a pair of sub-1 WHIPs on the hill.
