Shane Baz of the Rays shows a WHIP of 1.24, a K% of 19.8, and a BB% of 9.9 this season, with a HR/9 of 0.98 and a NRFI/YRFI record of 7-3. Baz’s performance indicates a moderate level of control and strikeout ability, important for MLB odds considerations in NRFI/YRFI markets.
Zack Wheeler from the Phillies presents a stronger front with a WHIP of 0.96, striking out 27% of batters faced, and a HR/9 of 0.88. His NRFI/YRFI record stands impressively at 23-4, showcasing his dominance on the mound and making him a critical factor in MLB odds for NRFI/YRFI betting.
The Rays show a balanced mix against right-handed pitching, with Brandon Lowe and Josh Lowe presenting a significant threat with their higher ISOs of .223 and .177, respectively. Yandy Díaz and Junior Caminero offer a steady presence at the plate, combining a moderate strikeout rate and solid on-base skills.
Phillies’ power hitters like Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper stand out with impressive ISOs of .273 and .247, indicating their potential to capitalize on Baz’s 0.98 HR/9 rate. Despite Baz’s decent K% and WHIP, the Phillies’ lineup, featuring high wOBA figures from Schwarber (.350) and Harper (.374), could exploit Baz’s relative inexperience and higher BB%.

Their ability to connect, combined with Betts’ lower strikeout rate of 15.4%, positions the Dodgers as a formidable force against lefties.
