A’s vs. Red Sox NRFI/YRFI Prediction Today
Odds are in favor of a run in the first inning, after both teams combined for five in the first last night. Nick Pivetta is a threat to shut down the A’s early on but has struggled with the long ball at times. For Sears, he will have to get around Refsnyder and O’Neil, as he has done well against lefties.
There is value on the NRFI in this spot if Sears can navigate against the right-handers and continue to do his normal thing against Devers and Duran if it gets that far. With the A’s contact struggles and Pivetta’s ability to miss bats, we should be looking at the value for NRFI.

Athletics Lineup vs. Nick Pivetta (R)
The A’s show a mixed response to right-handed pitchers with JJ Bleday and Brent Rooker standing out. Bleday’s .310 wOBA and .255 ISO, along with Rooker’s impressive .408 wOBA and .410 ISO, indicate potential for high-scoring plays against Pivetta’s 1.70 HR/9 rate. However, Pivetta’s higher K% at 27.5 could challenge the A’s strikeouts tendencies, particularly Rooker’s 32.8 K%.
Red Sox Lineup vs. JP Sears (L)
Both Jarren Duran and Rafael Devers can handle left-handed pitching well but there is a drop off from their usual splits against right-handers. Sears has also done a great job limiting left-handed hitters. Tyler O’Neil and Rob Refsnyder are the two right-handed bats Sears will likely have to deal with early on. Both stand with over a .200 ISO against lefties dating back to last season.
