Shayne Trail breaks down his favorite NRFI/YRFI bets of the day below, but you can follow all of his bets in the Action Network app. 

Zack Greinke & Kenta Maeda

Pirates vs. Royals, 8:10 p.m. ET | Guardians vs. Twins, 7:40 p.m. ET

Our first custom NRFI selection for today highlights experienced righty Zack Greinke of the Kansas City Royals. In the current season, Greinke has showcased remarkable NRFI performance with an 18-4 record, particularly shining in his impeccable 11-0 home NRFI split. This outstanding record expands Greinke's overall NRFI success to an impressive 40-8 since 2022, further emphasizing his dominance, especially at home with a flawless 23-0 NRFI split.

It's noteworthy that Greinke hasn't had the opportunity to face the majority of the Pittsburgh Pirates batters in the past, giving him the advantage of unfamiliarity. However, one Pirates hitter, Andrew McCutchen, has encountered him frequently in his career, achieving a 9-36 record. Adding to Greinke's advantage, the Pittsburgh Pirates boast a rather high 74% NRFI rate in the 2023 season.
