Wednesday was another 2-1 day in what's shaping up to be a solid week of first-inning plays.
Now, we have just one MLB NRFI & YRFI bet and prediction for Thursday, August 8.
MLB NRFI & YRFI Picks, Predictions
Billy Ward's Giants vs. Nationals NRFI/YRFI Bet
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.
