@MrActionJunkie1 Play for Monday (dropped on the podcast)

NRFI - Cincinnati Reds at Pittsburgh Pirates (-135)

• Scouting report on Reds starting Carson Spiers is limited, 5 appearances this year with a 2.33 ERA over 19.1 innings. 2.51 ERA in AAA this year over 46.2 innings. Pirates rank 29^th in OPS vs. righties so that should help. Paul Skenes for the Pirates, 2.43 ERA over 33.1 innings. 6 starts, 0 runs allowed in the 1^st on 1 hit. Reds rank 23^rd in OPS vs. righties. 

NRFI - St. Louis Cardinals at Miami Marlins (-155)

• I'm backing a pitcher with a 6.10 ERA and a 15 ERA in the 1^st inning AND I'm paying a price of -155. I thought inflation was bad, this is just craziness. Cardinals are 6^th best NRFI team, Marlins are the 9^th best NRFI team. Cardinals rank 29^th in OPS vs. lefties, Braxton Garrett is a left for the Marlins. Marlins rank 27^th in OPS vs. righties, Sonny Gray is a righty. I like Gray but he has a 5.14 ERA on the road this season. Plug your nose, eat your vitamins, and let's hope that I avoid the potential landmines to get 6 outs without a run. 

NRFI - Detroit Tigers at Atlanta Braves (-135)

• How long can Reese Olson keep the trend going for the Tigers? 13 starts, 0 runs allowed in the 1st. Amazing stat for a 1-8 pitcher with a 3.68 ERA. Max Fried for the Braves, 3.20 ERA, 1.06 WHIP on the year. Tigers rank 26^th in OPS vs. lefties. That works for me. 

NRFI - San Francisco Giants at Chicago Cubs (-105)

• Jordan Hicks for the Giants, 3.01 ERA, 2.57 ERA in the 1^st inning. Jaiver Assad for the Cubs, 2.81 ERA, 1.67 ERA at home, 1.93 ERA in the 1^st inning. Giants rank 21^st in OPS vs. righties, Cubs rank 25th. Giants rank 5^th best in NRFI's, Cubs rank 7^th best in NRFI's. Let's do it.
