No Runs or More Runs - NRFI/YRFI Update

@KotaCapperKyle (new school, fun) vs. @ActionJunkie1 (old school, boring)

Action comment: Last year, we took away the timeless nature of baseball by adding a pitch clock that changed the very fabric of baseball. This year, I wave the white flag and accept the challenge to bet on 6 outs of baseball. Crazy!

@MrActionJunkie1's Plays (dropped on the podcast last night) 

NRFI/No Run First Inning
 

New York Yankees @ Houston Astros (+110)

Couple excellent lineups so this is high risk. Marcus Stroman makes his Yankees debut, 2.61 ERA this spring. Last out, 6 innings, 0 runs against the Pirates. 3 of his 4 starts in March resulted in 0 runs allowed. Hunter Brown is on the bump for Astros, 2.12 ERA this spring. Let's get 6 outs before anyone hits the board.

 
YRFI/Yes Run First Inning
 

Washington Nationals @ Cincinnati Reds (-120)

Patrick Corbin struggled early last year, struggled this spring with a 5.51 ERA. Hunter Greene has a ton of potential, struggled this spring with a 7.20 ERA. Hitter friendly park. Let's get a run in the 1st. 

 

St. Louis Cardinals @ Los Angeles Dodgers (-130)

Lance Lynn had a 7.90 ERA, 1.68 WHIP this spring. Yamamoto had an 8.38 ERA, 1.97 WHIP this spring and got shelled last week against the Padres. I think one of these two teams will scratch across a run in the opening frame.
