Top NRFI and YRFI Bets for April 25th
Royals vs. White Sox NRFI (-145)
It's a chalky pick, but let's start the night off with a winner. Both offenses have stunk this season, and that trend will likely continue today. The Royals rank 23rd in batting average and 25th in OPS, while the White Sox rank 25th and 28th in those two respective categories.
Not only that, but both teams are putting out strong pitchers in today's game. Zack Greinke takes the mound for the Royals, and he boasts a 2.25 ERA. He'll face White Sox arm Dylan Cease, who has an ERA of 3.38 this season. I think we'll get through a clean first inning.
Mariners vs. Rays YRFI (+110)
The Mariners rank second in Major League Baseball in first inning runs per game, average 1.00 per game. To help them out even more, they'll face Rays pitcher Drew Rasmussen, who has a 5.25 ERA this season.
On the other side of things, the Rays will face lefty Marco Gonzales, and Tampa Bay has fared much better against lefties than righties this season. They rank second in batting average (.281) and fourth in OPS (.786) against lefties this season.
Cubs vs. Braves YRFI (-105)
This bet is a complete fade of the starting pitchers matchup. Mark Leiter Jr. gets the start for the Cubs, and he has an abysmal 11.05 ERA so far this season. He's allowed nine runs, two home runs, eight hits, and six walks in only 7.1 innings pitched. Yikes.
He'll face Braves starter Charlie Morton, who will get back to his old ways at some point this season, but a 6.32 ERA is concerning. It also helps that the Cubs are third in the Majors in first inning runs per game at 0.94.
