NRFI Best Bet Today #1: Los Angeles Angels vs Detroit Tigers (-130)

We’re heading to Detroit for our first NRFI play as the Tigers welcome in the Angels for a three-game series.

Veteran Kyle Hendricks gets the nod for the Angels not allowing a first inning run in 15 of his 21 starts on the season while allowing opposing Tigers hitters just a .346 slugging percentage all-time.

Hendricks has allowed just two earned runs in total across his last two starts (11 IP) with the Tigers failing to score in the first inning in eight straight games.

Ace Tarik Skubal starts for Detroit not allowing a first inning run in 19 of 22 games including six straight. Current Angels batters have collectively hit just .143 against Skubal all-time with the Angels failing to score in the first in seven straight games.

The Angels and Tigers both sit bottom 11 in team batting average since the all-star break so let’s play on an Angels vs Tigers NRFI to occur with odds listed at -130 and first pitch at 7:10PM ET.

NRFI Best Bet Today #2: Kansas City Royals vs Minnesota Twins (+100)

The Royals still hold the lead for most NRFI results in the MLB this season as they’ll travel to face AL Central Division foe Minnesota tonight.

Righty Seth Lugo starts for Kansas City not allowing a first inning run in 18 of 21 starts on the season including three straight.

This will be Minnesota’s first home game in August so perhaps there is some travel fatigue especially after giving max effort in Detroit taking two of three from the division leading Tigers.

Joe Ryan starts for the Twins not allowing a first inning run in 17 of 21 starts this season with the Royals failing to score in the first in seven straight games.

Opposing Royals hitters have combined to hit just .172 against Ryan all-time with this being the third straight road series for Kansas City.

It’s worth noting these two have played seven times against one another this season while averaging less than five runs per game.

With that, we’re going to play on a Royals vs Twins NRFI tonight with first pitch at 8:10PM ET and odds listed at -125.

We understand this Cardinals vs Dodgers NRFI pick is slightly risky but the +100 odds reflects that.
