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

NRFI Best Bet Today #1: Atlanta Braves vs Miami Marlins (-120)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Braves and Marlins have two of the bottom ten batting averages across the MLB in the last week as they go head-to-head tonight in Miami. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t be fooled by the 6.04 ERA Sandy Alcantara has posted this season as most of that mediocrity occurred in the first half of the season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the all-star break Alcantara has posted a 3.56 ERA and has only allowed two earned runs combined in his last two starts (13 IP). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He hasn\u2019t allowed a first inning run in 17 of 25 starts this season including seven straight with Atlanta not scoring a first inning run in five straight games. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hurston Waldrep gets the start for Atlanta and since he\u2019s been called up he\u2019s been electric allowing just two earned runs in 24.2 innings pitched while not allowing a first inning run in all three starts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Marlins haven\u2019t scored a first inning run in six straight games and haven\u2019t scored in the first inning in 72% of home games. Play on a Braves vs Marlins NRFI to occur tonight at -120<\/strong> with first pitch slated for 6:40PM ET.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NRFI Best Bet Today #2: Kansas City Royals vs Chicago White Sox (-115)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve been successful in the past targeting the Royals for a NRFI and we\u2019re going to do it again tonight as they play the White Sox in Chicago once again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Michael Lorenzen gets the start for Kansas City who despite his 5-8 record and 4.50 ERA hasn\u2019t allowed a first inning run in 18 of 20 starts this season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Current White Sox batters have collectively hit just .130 all-time against Lorenzen with the Royals starter posting a 3.24 ERA in the last 30 days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The White Sox send veteran Martin Perez to the mound making his sixth start of the season and not allowing a first inning run in four of his five previous starts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Royals have failed to score a first inning run in five straight games as they sit fifth among all MLB teams in NRFI results this season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perez posts a 1.93 home ERA this season so let\u2019s play on a Royals vs White Sox NRFI to occur tonight<\/strong> with first pitch at 7:40PM ET and odds listed at -115<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
