Orioles vs. Dodgers (8/28/24): NRFI/YRFI Prediction and Key Player Analysis
This game presents an exciting opportunity for bettors, especially with two talented pitchers on the mound. Corbin Burnes, who boasts a stellar 20-6 NRFI record, is expected to keep things tight in the early innings. His WHIP of 1.13 and low HR/9 of 1.02 further reinforce his reliability. On the other hand, Walker Buehler’s 5-5 NRFI record presents a bit more unpredictability, especially with his WHIP of 1.67 and HR/9 of 2.23. Bettors can anticipate a fast-paced, action-packed first inning, with a slight edge towards YRFI given Buehler’s vulnerability to power hitters.
NRFI/YRFI Prediction: YRFI (-105)
Corbin Burnes’ away game consistency, with a WHIP of 0.96, offers solid confidence for NRFI backers. However, the Orioles lineup, featuring Colton Cowser and Gunnar Henderson with ISOs of .220 and .281, respectively, might push for an early run. Additionally, Walker Buehler’s home performance has been shaky, with a 1.48 WHIP and struggles against left-hand hitters (WHIP of 2.12). This gives power hitters like Anthony Santander (.285 ISO) and other key Orioles an opportunity to capitalize early.
On the Dodgers side, Burnes will face a formidable lineup. Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman lead the charge with high wOBAs (.449 and .390) and significant power numbers. If Burnes falters early, the Dodgers’ offense, including Betts with his .384 wOBA, could make YRFI a solid bet for the evening.
