NRFI Prediction 1: Cubs vs Phillies (+100)

Something has to give as the Cubs and Phillies start up a series with both riding 4+ game losing streaks. Offense has been tough to come by for both teams in these losing streaks with the Phillies sporting the worst first inning offense at home of any MLB team.

They send lefty Ranger Suarez to the mound who shook off the rust in his first start and is looking to make this one more impactful.

The Cubs are solid against lefties but current batters only hit a collective .204 batting average against Suarez all-time including Dansby Swanson going 2-20.

Marcus Stroman was awful his last time out getting knocked around for six earned runs in only 2.2 innings pitched so he’ll be looking for a bounce back effort out of the gates tonight.

Against the Phillies last season Stroman pitched 13 innings allowing only two earned runs as current Phillies hitters this season only hit for .198 in 116 combined at-bats in their career’s against Stroman.

Get a Cubs vs Phillies NRFI at a valuable +100 as we bank on these depleted offenses and bounce back efforts from both starting pitchers.

NRFI Prediction 1: Guardians vs Mets (-106)

The Guardians and Mets have both had disappointing seasons up until this point of the season with both sitting under .500 heading into their 3-game series starting tonight.

The Guardians are bottom half in the MLB in runs scored in the first inning in road games with the Mets coming in dead last in run scoring in the first overall.

Carlos Carrasco returns to the rotation after battling an elbow injury for the last month which could have been linked to his slow start. Look for him to shut down a Guardians lineup that’s 3rd to last in team batting average and dead last in home runs hit on the season.

Cal Quantrill starts for Cleveland who hasn’t allowed a first inning run in four of his last six starts. Before yesterday’s game against the Rays the Mets hadn’t scored in the first inning in nine straight games! Play on a NRFI in this Guardians vs Mets game at -106 with first pitch going off at 7:10pm ET.
