MLB Best NRFI/YRFI Bets For Today
All odds listed are via Caesars Sportbook.
Milwaukee Brewers vs Los Angeles Angels NRFI -115
The Milwaukee Brewers will be facing Angels starting pitcher Jose Soriano when this game starts tonight. Soriano has a 9-2 NRFI record overall this season and is 3-1 in his home starts.
He will be looking to improve on that record against a Brewers team that has a 30-day first inning batting average of .130 and are 9-1 NRFI in their last 10 games. The Brewers are 72.97% NRFI on the road this season.
The Halos will be facing rookie pitcher Carlos Rodriguez when the Brewers go on defense in the first inning. Rodriguez will be making his second start of the year, and his first on the road. In his first start, he held a Toronto team scoreless in the first inning. Tonight's game against an Angels team that has a first inning batting average of .167, is a great spot for the rookie to register another NRFI. The Angels are 7-3 NRFI in their last 10 games and are 76.47% NRFI at home this season.
San Fancisco Giants vs Chicago Cubs NRFI -105
The Cubs will have Javier Assad on the mound to start the game. Assad is also holding the opponents to a first inning batting average of .238 and has registered 5 K's in his home starts this season. Assad is 5-1 NRFI at home and 11-3 overall. The Giants team that he will face is 8-2 NRFI in their last 10 games and 82.86% NRFI on the road this season. The Giants have a .146 first inning batting average in their road games over the last 30 days.
Chicago will be dealing Giants starter Jordan Hicks, one of the best NRFI pitchers in the sport this season. Hicks is also 5-1 NRFI in his road starts this season and 10-4 overall.
The Cubs offense has struggled as of late, going 8-2 NRFI in thier last 10 games and 79.41% NRFI at home this season. Hicks will look to build on his NRFI record tonight against a Cubs team that has a first inning batting average of .095 at home over the last 30 days.
