NRFI Best Bet Today #1: Kansas City Royals vs Toronto Blue Jays (-130)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Royals and Blue Jays meet for the first time this season in Toronto as Michael Wacha gets the start for the road team. He hasn\u2019t allowed a first inning run in 20 of his 21 starts on the season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Blue Jays did score nine runs in their series finale at Baltimore but in their four games before that scored four or less runs in all games. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Toronto hasn\u2019t scored in the first inning in nine straight games with the Royals still sitting atop the MLB in NRFI results on the season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Blue Jays send Kevin Gausman to the mound who hasn\u2019t allowed a first inning run in 14 of 21 starts this season and posted a 2.51 ERA in July across five starts with three of those coming against the Yankees and Tigers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With two veterans starting today and both teams still fighting for playoff positioning, let\u2019s play on a Royals vs Blue Jays NRFI to happen at -130 odds<\/strong> today and first pitch at 7:07 PM ET.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NRFI Best Bet Today #2: San Francisco Giants vs New York Mets (-140)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ll head to Queens for a lefty vs lefty matchup for our second NRFI play as the Mets host the Giants for a three game series. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robbie Ray starts for the Giants holding opponents scoreless in the first inning in 17 of 22 starts on the season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Mets sit bottom ten in batting average against lefties on the season and second to last in overall batting average since the all-star break. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ray\u2019s last start actually came against this Mets team in San Francisco against Mets starter David Peterson tonight in which that game went to a NRFI and only three total runs were scored. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peterson has held opponents scoreless the first inning in 17 of his 20 starts this season with the Giants sitting dead last in batting average against lefties. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In July Peterson posted a 1.05 ERA in four starts and sports a 1.91 home ERA on the season. Play on Giants vs Mets NRFI to occur<\/strong> tonight with first pitch slated for\u00a0 7:10 PM ET and odds listed at -140<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
