MLB NRFI & YRFI Picks, Predictions
Billy Ward’s Giants vs. Nationals NRFI/YRFI Bet
[gameheader haspick=”true” picktext=”YRFI -104 (Play to -115)” league=”mlb” awaylogo=”https://static.sprtactn.co/teamlogos/mlb/100/sf.png” awayname=”Giants” awayslug=”san-francisco-giants” homelogo=”https://static.sprtactn.co/teamlogos/mlb/100/wsh.png” homename=”Nationals” homeslug=”washington-nationals” date=”Thursday, August 8″ time=”12:05 p.m. ET” network=”MLB.TV” bookname=”FanDuel” bookprimarylogo=”https://assets.actionnetwork.com/122955_FanDuelSportsBook@1x.jpg” bookreviewslug=”fanduel”][/gameheader]
Starting Pitchers: Kyle Harrison vs. DJ Herz
This one immediately stood out, as most books set the total at 9.0, while FanDuel is the last major shop offering a line of 8.5. As such, its YRFI is also mispriced relative to the rest of the market at just -104.
That makes Giants vs. Nationals a solid spot to target, as a -104 YRFI on a game with a total of 9.0 is a near auto-bet without even looking at anything else.
It also features two lower-tier pitchers facing off.
In addition, the Giants are on the stronger side of their platoon splits by a whopping 23 points in terms of wRC+. San Francisco is the likelier team to score here — it ranks second in the majors against lefties — but Washington has a reasonable chance as well.
Hopefully this one at least gets one inning of play in before the rain hits, as it could be at risk of getting postponed.
