Patrick Corbin has found new life in Texas sporting a 3.00 home ERA with the Royals sitting bottom three in slugging percentage against lefties on the season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Texas lefty hasn\u2019t allowed a run in the first inning in 10 of 12 starts this season with the Royals averaging just 2.5 runs per game across their last seven. <strong>Odds for a NRFI in Royals vs Rangers sit at -130<\/strong> with first pitch slated for 8:05 PM ET.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"core\/file\" class=\"wp-block-file\"><object data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!state.hasPdfPreview\" hidden class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/NRFI-WED-6-18.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Embed of NRFI WED 6-18.\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-afddb434-0243-47d5-a89a-8273cacb6eaf\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/NRFI-WED-6-18.pdf\">NRFI WED 6-18<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/NRFI-WED-6-18.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-afddb434-0243-47d5-a89a-8273cacb6eaf\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Enjoyed the NRFI Prop Bets?
