Monday Card for Action: (dropped on the podcast last night)
YRFI: Pirates @ Nationals (-110)
Marco Gonzales for the Pirates gave up 3 or more runs in 3 of 5 starts this spring finishing with a 8.64 ERA, 1.92 WHIP, and .342 batting average against. MacKenzie Gore goes for the Nationals, he looked good in his first 3 starts this spring but gave up 8 runs over 4.2 innings against the Mets in his final tune-up against major league competition. Enough bad for both to get me interested.
YRFI: Reds @ Phillies (-125)
Andrew Abbott goes for the Reds; he gave up 4 runs over 3 against Oakland and 3 runs over 3 against Arizona in his final two starts this spring. Cristopher Sanchez goes for the Phillies; he gave up 4 runs over 2.1 innings against Houston and 3 runs over 3 against the Rays in his final two starts this spring. These 2 had WHIPs of 1.88 and 2.45. Let's get a run in the 1st.
NRFI: Yankees @ Diamondbacks (+120)
+120, I'm willing to touch this high-risk wager. Ryne Nelson goes for the Diamondbacks. Last time I watched him pitch he went 5.1 innings against the Rangers in the World Series giving up 1 run on 3 hits. 2.66 ERA this spring. Luis Gil goes for the Yankees, he had a 2.87 ERA, 0.83 WHIP, .127 BA against over 15.2 innings this spring not to mention the 23 strikeouts. Both pitchers have upside, I'll risk it at this price.
Monday Card for Kyle:
NRFI - Rangers/Rays (1.2/1)
NRFI - Tigers/Mets (1.25/1)
YRFI - Guardians/Mariners (1/1)
YRFI - Red Sox/A's (1/1)
NRFI - Yankees/Diamondbacks (1/1.05)
YRFI - Giants/Dodgers (1.2/1)
