No Runs or More Runs - NRFI/YRFI Best Bets

NRFI - Cincinnati Reds at Washington Nationals (+100)

• Burned me yesterday, back for more today. Andrew Abbott for the Reds, 3.39 ERA, 3.38 ERA over the last 7 starts, 3.26 ERA on the road. Washington ranks 28^th in OPS vs. lefties and have the highest NRFI % in baseball. Jake Irvin gets the call for Washington, 3.49 ERA, 3.15 ERA in the opening inning. He's been hit hard in back-to-back starts allowing 6 runs to both the Mets & Brewers, I expect a bounce back at home against the 18^th best team in OPS vs. righties. 

NRFI - San Diego Padres at Cleveland Guardians (-113)

• Pair of righties on the bump today. Michael King for San Diego, 3.41 ERA, 2.61 ERA over his last 7 starts, 2.74 ERA on the road, 0.95 ERA in the 1^st inning. Ben Lively for the Guardians, 3.58 ERA, 2.55 ERA at home, 0.56 ERA in the 1^st inning. Both teams can hit, but I can't pass up a pair of sub-1 ERA's in the first. NRFI it is. 

NRFI - Chicago White Sox at Kansas City Royals (-113)

• Seth Lugo goes for the Kansas City, struggled last out allowing 5 runs over 5 at Boston. 2.48 ERA on the season, 2.44 ERA at home, 1.35 ERA in the first inning. Drew Thorpe gets the call for Chicago, 3.58 ERA over 6 career starts. 1.35 ERA in the minors this year over 60 innings. High upside for Thorpe, I'll take my chances tonight. 

NRFI - Arizona Diamondbacks at Chicago Cubs (-128)

• Shota Imanaga for the Cubbies, 2.97 ERA, 3.40 ERA at Wrigley, 2.65 ERA in the opening frame. Diamondbacks rank 4^th in OPS vs. lefties so nothing will be easy today. Brandon Praadt is on the bump for the D-Backs, 3.97 ERA, 3.35 ERA over his last 7 starts, 3.79 ERA in the first. The Cubs rank 19^th in OPS vs. righties, let's get 6 without a run at Wrigley. 

NRFI - Houston Astros at Seattle Mariners (-120)

• Back in Seattle for yet another NRFI. Ronel Blanco for the Astros, 2.56 ERA, 0.97 WHIP. 2.23 ERA over the last 7 starts, 2.45 ERA on the road. Mariners rank 27^th in OPS vs. righties. Bryan Woo for Seattle, 2.45 ERA, 0.89 WHIP on the season. 2.88 ERA over the last 7 starts, struggled last out in his first start back allowing 4 over 3.1 at the Angels. Home ERA of 0.57. Pair of sub-1 WHIP's, nothing but NRFI for me.
