Best NRFI Bets Today – Free NRFI Picks

NRFI Best Bet Today #1: Houston Astros vs Pittsburgh Pirates (-145)

The Astros and Pirates go head-to-head in Pittsburgh today with Paul Skenes taking the mound going up against Lance McCullers who arguably had his best outing of the season last time out against the Athletics.

Skenes has been perfect in the first inning so far this season not allowing a run to open the game in any of his 12 starts.

Current Astros batters are a combined 2-18 against Skenes all-time with the Astros coming in as the worst scoring first inning team in the MLB, not scoring in the first inning in 81% of all games this season.

The Pirates offense comes in ranking bottom five in team batting average and dead last in team slugging percentage.

McCullers hasn’t allowed a run in either of his road starts this season so let’s play on a NRFI in tonight’s Astros vs Pirates game with odds listed at -145 and first pitch slated for 6:40PM ET.

NRFI Best Bet Today #2: Texas Rangers vs Tampa Bay Rays (-130)

Both the Rangers and Rays both sit top ten in least amount of runs scored in the first inning as these two go head-to-head in Florida tonight.

Tyler Mahle takes the mound for Texas sporting a 1.64 ERA and 1.05 WHIP with current Rays batters going a combined 2-17 against him all-time.

Mahle has been effective in the first inning this season not allowing a first inning run in 10 of 12 starts including the last two.

Drew Rasmussen starts for Tampa Bay not allowing a run in nine of his 11 starts this season including five straight.

He actually hasn’t allowed a run in general in his last three starts (18 IP) sporting a 2.33 ERA for the season and a WHIP that sits at just 0.93.

Two of three head-to-head matchups this season has resulted in a NRFI between these two so let’s play on another NRFI tonight between the Rangers and Rays with first pitch scheduled for 7:35PM ET and odds listed at -130.
