Best NRFI Bets Today – Free NRFI Picks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

NRFI Best Bet Today #1: Pittsburgh Pirates vs Milwaukee Brewers (-190)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Paul Skenes takes the mound today so you know what that means? We\u2019ll look to once again cash a NRFI play as they play at Milwaukee taking on the Brewers tonight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There really isn\u2019t much more to say about Skenes than you already know about him. He\u2019s now a perfect 24-0 in not allowing a first inning run to opponents this season going against a Milwaukee team that hasn\u2019t scored in the first inning in 87% of their home games. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Freddy Peralta starts for the Brewers quietly not allowing a first inning run in 20 of his 24 starts on the season with the Pirates failing to score in the first inning in four straight games. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peralta posts a 2.13 ERA in home starts this season with Pittsburgh ranking bottom five in slugging percentage since the all-star break. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s very juicy odds but play on a Pirates vs Brewers NRFI to occur today at -190 odds<\/strong> with first pitch at 7:40PM ET.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NRFI Best Bet Today #2: Tampa Bay Rays vs Athletics (+110)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

From an odds standpoint our first NRFI play may not be appealing to you so how about a plus-money NRFI play for tonight? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Rays and Athletics go head-to-head in Sacramento tonight with righty Shane Baz taking the mound for the Rays. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He hasn\u2019t allowed a first inning run in 20 of 23 starts this season while posting a 3.34 road ERA compared to a 6.54 home ERA. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Opposing Athletics batters have collectively hit just .184 against Baz all time with Jacob Lopez getting the start for the Athletics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lefty hasn\u2019t allowed a first inning run in 12 of 14 starts this season including five straight with Tampa Bay failing to score in the first inning in 78% of road games in 2025. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Rays are bottom five in team batting average since the all-star break and rank bottom ten in batting average against lefties. Play on a Rays vs Athletics NRFI<\/strong> with first pitch at 10:05PM ET and odds listed at +110<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
