NRFI Prediction 1: Tigers vs Mets 2nd Game (-125)

Yesterday’s Tigers vs Mets game was rained out so they’ll play a double header today. In the second game of that double header former Tiger Max Scherzer will go up against Michael Lorenzen.

As we noted yesterday, the Tigers and Mets have scored the least amount of first inning runs of any MLB teams.

Scherzer will be firing out of the gates as he’ll want to put on a show for the Tigers faithful that cheered him on between 2010-14. Lorenzen is still looking to earn his way to a consistent rotation spot so look for him to be locked in as well.

The weather in Detroit should hold up avoiding another postponement. This is Scherzer’s first start since April 19 adding to the excitement surrounding Scherzer’s start for the Mets.

Play on a NRFI to occur in the second game of this doubleheader between Tigers vs Mets game at -125 with first pitch coming at 6:40pm ET.

NRFI Prediction 2: Yankees vs Guardians (-128)

Clarke Schmidt takes the mound for the Yankees tonight going up against Guardians ace Shane Bieber tonight. This has been a low-scoring series already with only 11 total runs being scored over the first two games.

A NRFI occurred in both of those games so why not make it three-straight tonight? Both the Yankees and Guardians are bottom half in the MLB in first inning run scoring. In fact, the Guardians are bottom five when playing in road games.

The Yankees are still trying to find an identity without the services of Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton for the time being as both are shelved with injuries. I expect a consistent Bieber to take advantage and shut this Yankees team down in the first inning.

Known as a fly ball pitcher, expect Schmidt to do the same to the Guardians as their 1-3 hitters only have four home runs combined on the season. Play on a NRFI in this Yankees vs Guardians matchup at -128 before 7:05pm ET first pitch.

Stop Wasting Money on Bad Odds!

So, we did the research and here are the sportsbooks with the best NRFI odds – why would you ever use a sportsbooks with worse odds? Shop around, increase winnings, decrease losses. You’ll never find an MLB betting sharp with 1 or 2 sportsbooks only!
