Best NRFI Bets Today – Free NRFI Picks

NRFI Best Bet Today #1: Atlanta Braves vs Chicago Cubs (-115)

We’re set for a lefty vs lefty matchup in the Windy City as the Braves and Cubs play the second of their three-game series.

Joey Wentz gets the start for Atlanta sporting a 3.02 road ERA compared to a 7.41 home ERA. He hasn’t allowed a first inning run in seven of eight starts this season going against a Cubs team that ranks bottom 10 in the MLB in batting average since the all-star break.

The Cubs haven’t scored in the first inning in 71% of their home games as they send Shota Imanaga to the mound.

The Cubs lefty sports a 2.96 home ERA and a 2.65 ERA across five starts in August. He hasn’t allowed a first inning run in 14 of 20 starts on the season with the Braves sitting bottom 10 in team batting average in road games this season.

Play on a Braves vs Cubs NRFI to occur on Tuesday with first pitch slated for 7:40PM ET and odds listed at -115.

NRFI Best Bet Today #2: New York Yankees vs Houston Astros (-130)

Both the Yankees and Astros rank bottom 10 across the MLB in team batting average since the all-star break as these two start up a series in Houston tonight.

Both teams will be sending their best pitchers to the mound with Max Fried starting for New York. Fried struggled at the start of August but in his last two starts (13 IP) he has allowed just one run combined.

He hasn’t allowed a first inning run in 19 of 27 starts on the season with the Astros failing to score in the first inning in four straight games.

They’ll send Framer Valdez to the mound sporting a 1.70 home ERA and not allowing a first inning run in 17 of 26 starts on the season.

Valdez struggled early in August but was able to get it back on track in his last start going seven innings while striking out ten against the Rockies.

This game could have playoff like vibes to it so let’s play on a NRFI in Yankees vs Astros with odds listed at -130.
