NRFI Best Bet Today #1: Pittsburgh Pirates vs Kansas City Royals (-115)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We have a lefty vs lefty matchup tonight in the Pirates vs Royals matchup in Kansas City as Bailey Falter takes the mound for Pittsburgh. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He has held opponents scoreless in 12 of 18 starts on the season with the Royals heading in as the best NRFI team in the MLB heading into today\u2019s action. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Royals are bottom ten in first inning scoring at home failing to do so in 74% of their games at Kauffman Stadium and sit bottom five in team batting average against lefties this season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kris Bubic starts for the Royals not allowing a first inning run in 14 of his 17 starts this season with the Pirates failing to score in the first inning in seven straight games and in 78% of their road games which is bottom five in the MLB. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s also worth noting that Pittsburgh is batting just .217 and slugging .332 against lefties this season, both bottom five in the MLB as well. Play on a Pirates vs Royals NRFI to occur today at -115 odds<\/strong> and first pitch at 7:40PM ET.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Guardians and Astros head into Wednesday\u2019s action as the two worst overall first inning scorers in the MLB so we\u2019ll look at a NRFI to occur in the third and final game of their series in Houston today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slade Cecconi starts for Cleveland having not allowed a first inning run in seven of nine total starts this season and sports a 2.57 road ERA compared to a 4.95 ERA at home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He has been great as of late as well sporting a 2.60 ERA overall across his last month of action. Lefty Brandon Walter starts for the Astros having not allowed a first inning run in five of his six starts this season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cleveland sits bottom five in both batting average and slugging percentage against lefties this season with Walter pitching much better at home than on the road this season with a 1.42 ERA at Daikin Park and 5.73 ERA in road starts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
