No Runs or More Runs - NRFI/YRFI Best Bets

NRFI - San Francisco Giants at St. Louis Cardinals (-125)

• Miles Mikolas gets the call for the Cardinals, 4.59 ERA on the season, 2.76 ERA over the last 7 starts, 1.40 ERA in June. Giants rank 19^th in OPS vs. righties and have the 5^th highest NRFI % this year. Jordan Hicks goes for San Francisco, 2.82 ERA, 2.76 ERA on the road, 2.40 ERA in the 1^st inning. Cardinals have the 7^th best NRFI % so let's do it. 

NRFI - Tampa Bay Rays at Pittsburgh Pirates (-113)

• Rookie Jared Jones goes for the Pirates, 3.76 ERA, 2.14 ERA at home, Rays rank 24^th in OPS vs. righties. Zach Eflin goes for the Rays, 4.12 ERA, Pirates rank 29^th in OPS vs. righties and have the 8^th best NRFI rate this season. Let's get 6 without a run. 

NRFI - Minnesota Twins at Oakland Athletics (-125)

• My brother from California and his son will be attending this game. I remember sitting out in the bleachers in Oakland back in the late-80's watching the Bash Brothers with Canseco and McGwire, good times. This will be the final trip to Oakland ever for the Twins to face an old AL West rival. JP Sears goes for Oakland, most of know that I love his stuff. He struggled last out against Minnesota giving up 4 over 4.1, but Sears has been better at home with a 3.31 ERA. Bailey Ober goes for Minnesota, 4.81 ERA. Last out he allowed just 1 run against Oakland over 6.1. I expect to see some early donuts at the Coliseum, NRFI it is. 

NRFI - Baltimore Orioles at Houston Astros (-122)

• Tough to get much better on the pitching front. Corbin Burnes for Baltimore with a 2.14 ERA. Ronel Blanco for Houston with a 2.43 ERA. I'm not going to overthink this one. I'll tip my cap if they beat me. I'll take good pitching over good hitting. 

NRFI - Toronto Blue Jays at Cleveland Guardians (-105)

• Both pitchers struggled against the opponent last out. Jose Berrios gave up 4 over 6 against Cleveland, Ben Lively gave up 4 over 4 against Toronto. On the season, both pitchers have solid numbers. Berrios has 3.13 ERA, Lively a 3.02 ERA. Toronto is the #1 NRFI team in baseball, let's cash it.
