@MrActionJunkie1 Plays for Tuesday (dropped on the podcast)
NRFI: Texas Rangers at Detroit Tigers (-120)
Afternoon baseball in Detroit, 1-0 Rangers last night. Hopefully the bats will stay cool in the 1st today. Casey Mize looked better in his second start back giving up 2 runs over 5 to the Pirates last out. Jon Gray had a nice bounce back start against Oakland last out giving up 1 run over 5 innings. It's been far too long since I started the day with a W. Let's end that streak with a scoreless 1st.
NRFI: Pittsburgh Pirates at New York Mets (-120)
Jose Quintana gets the call for the Mets, 3.45 ERA on the season after starts against Atlanta, Cincinnati, and Milwaukee. That list would be ranked #1, #2, and #3 in scoring this year. Pirates are 14 for 70 off Quintana, .200 BA with 1 homer. Rookie Jared Jones goes for the Pirates, 4.00 ERA, 0.94 WHIP after 18 innings. 12.5 K's/9, live arm. Let's get 6 dang outs without a run today.
NRFI: San Diego at Milwaukee (-115)
Is Dylan Cease back? Early returns look good for the Padres, 2.16 ERA, 0.844 WHIP. Rough 2023 with the White Sox, excellent 2022 with a 2.20 ERA, 1.11 WHIP. I'm hoping he's back for at least the first 3 outs today. Wade Miley goes for the Brew Crew, 4 innings - 1 run in his lone start this season at Cincinnati, 3.14 ERA last year, 2.35 ERA in the First Inning.
NRFI: Cincinnati at Seattle (-145)
I'm back for more in Seattle after losing a NRFI back-to-back days. Logan Gilbert is part one of the equation today, 2.66 ERA, 0.84 WHIP. Reds had had some success against him but I think he will be just fine today. Hunter Greene will look to bring the heat for the Reds, 4.86 ERA coming off a disappointing effort giving up 7 against Milwaukee last out. I expect a nice bounce back effort against the Mariners.
KotaCapperKyle Plays for Tuesday:
NRFI: Padres/Brewers (-120)
There are two solid pitchers on the mound in Dylan Cease and Wade Miley, each with an ERA below 2.30. The top of the lineup for each will have a lot to deal with, and I see it being a quick inning.
YRFI: Yankees/Blue Jays (-105)
Although we got a really good pitching matchup here, the top of each of these lineups has had their way with these starting pitchers, particularly the Blue Jays with Carlos Rodon. We could see a few runs early in this first inning.
YRFI: Braves/Astros (-130)
The top of the lineups for both of these teams is enough for me to bet a YRFI. 6 guys that can easily hit a dinger or bring runs ins. This is a little bit of juice, but there's a reason for that. The oddsmakers are telling you what to bet.
NRFI: Nationals/Dodgers (-105)
I know that Patrick Corbin has struggled on the mound lately, but a bounce back is very much due here. The value is with the NRFI, and I think that this could be a very slow start to the first inning.
