Phillies vs. Braves: NRFI Odds & Predictions
DraftKings favors NRFI for the Phillies-Braves game at -130, implying a 56.5% chance, while YRFI sits at -105, with a 51.2% chance of a first-inning run. Cristopher Sánchez’s NRFI/YRFI record stands at 18-6, featuring a WHIP of 1.25 and a HR/9 of 0.32, showcasing his ability to limit early-game damage. Spencer Schwellenbach brings a 12-1 NRFI/YRFI record, alongside a stellar WHIP of 1.07 and a K% of 27.2.
The first two games of the series have not seen any first-inning runs, and tonight looks no different. Despite a strong Phillies lineup, Schwellenbach’s consistency this season makes NRFI the safer bet at -150, translating to a 60% probability, while YRFI stands at +110 (47.6% implied probability).
Mets vs. Padres: NRFI Prediction
Luis Severino (Mets) and Dylan Cease (Padres) present an intriguing matchup. Severino, with a WHIP of 1.22, K% of 18.8, and an impressive 22-2 NRFI/YRFI record, faces three left-handed hitters, against whom he allows a .320 wOBA and .160 ISO. Cease counters with a WHIP of 1.02 and a K% of 30.7, but early struggles and power hitters in the Mets’ lineup could cause NRFI trouble.
Despite Cease’s occasional first-inning struggles, his overall numbers and Severino’s strong NRFI record make NRFI (-145) the recommended pick for this matchup.
