|---|---|---|
| 16-8 | NRFI/YRFI record | 20-4 |
| 24% | K% | 26.9% |
| 9.7% | BB% | 6.8% |
| 1.06 | WHIP | 0.98 |
| 1.31 | HR/9 | 0.99 |
Ronel Blanco for the Astros has had a solid season. He has a WHIP of 1.06, struck out 24% of batters faced, and maintained an HR/9 rate of 1.31. His NRFI/YRFI record is 16-8, indicating reliability in early innings. Zack Wheeler of the Phillies counters with an impressive WHIP of 0.98, a K% of 26.9, and a lower HR/9 rate of 0.99, contributing to a strong NRFI/YRFI record of 20-4. Wheeler’s dominance is highlighted by his performance at home with a WHIP of 0.92 and against right-hand hitters, boasting a WHIP of 0.68 and HR/9 of 0.61, factors critical for MLB odds.
Jose Altuve and Alex Bregman highlight the Astros’ threat against right-hand pitching, showcasing a solid mix of power and contact with Altuve’s .145 ISO and Bregman’s .184 ISO. Yordan Alvarez stands out with a .249 ISO and .380 wOBA, indicating significant power potential. Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper bring power from the left side against righties, with Schwarber’s .239 ISO and Harper’s .253 ISO, posing a threat for early runs. Trea Turner and Alec Bohm add depth with Turner’s speed and Bohm’s .164 ISO, suggesting potential for key hits.
Both the Astros and Phillies have the lineups capable of scoring a run in the first inning. However, both starting pitchers tonight don’t allow first-inning runs. The difference could be the Phillies are playing at home. There is something about the Philly lineup at home that seems to bring the bats alive, and that will be the case again tonight against Houston.

Yankees vs. Nationals NRFI/YRFI
| Nestor Cortes (L) (NYY) | Stat | Mitchell Parker (L) (WSH) |
|---|---|---|
| 18-8 | NRFI/YRFI record | 17-6 |
| 22% | K% | 19.8% |
| 4.7% | BB% | 6.1% |
| 1.15 | WHIP | 1.25 |
| 1.27 | HR/9 | 1.17 |
Nestor Cortes for the Yankees shows a WHIP of 1.15, a K% of 22, and a BB% of 4.7, with a HR/9 of 1.27. Cortes has a NRFI/YRFI record of 18-8, indicating strong early-game performance. Mitchell Parker of the Nationals counters with a WHIP of 1.25, a K% of 19.8, and a BB% of 6.1, alongside a HR/9 of 1.17. Parker’s NRFI/YRFI record stands at 17-6, suggesting reliability in the initial innings.
The Yankees showcase hitters like Gleyber Torres and Aaron Judge who excel against left-hand pitchers, with Judge’s outstanding .453 ISO and .508 wOBA highlighting their threat. Juan Soto, despite being a lefty, impresses with a .312 ISO and .435 wOBA, indicating his capability to challenge Parker. CJ Abrams and Juan Yepez lead the Nationals with solid performances against lefties, noted by Abrams’ .185 ISO and .350 wOBA, and Yepez’s .344 wOBA. However, the lineup shows a mix of outcomes, with some players struggling to maintain high ISO and wOBA against similar throwhand pitchers.
Aaron Judge and Juan Soto are in a different universe right now, especially the Yankees captain. As for tonight, Judge thrives against left-handed pitching. On top of that, New York has a YRFI percentage of 39.7%, one of the best in MLB. Even if the Nationals fail to cross the plate in the first inning, the Yankees will.

Braves vs. Twins NRFI/YRFI
| Max Fried (L) (ATL) | Stat | Bailey Ober (R) (MIN) |
|---|---|---|
| 18-4 | NRFI/YRFI record | 15-9 |
| 21.8% | K% | 26.1% |
| 8.4% | BB% | 6.1% |
| 1.22 | WHIP | 0.99 |
| 0.70 | HR/9 | 1.22 |
Max Fried for the Braves shows a solid season with a WHIP of 1.22, K% at 21.8, and a BB% of 8.4. His HR/9 stands at 0.70, contributing to an NRFI/YRFI record of 18-4. Bailey Ober of the Twins counters with a WHIP of 0.99, a K% of 26.1, and a BB% of 6.1. Ober’s HR/9 is 1.22, with an NRFI/YRFI record of 15-9. Both pitchers exhibit control and the ability to limit home runs, which is crucial for MLB odds.
With Michael Harris II and Matt Olson showing potential against right-hand pitchers, the Braves lineup could exploit Ober’s HR/9 rate of 1.22. Harris II’s .096 ISO and Olson’s .230 ISO suggest they can capitalize on Ober’s tendency to allow home runs. The Twins lineup, featuring hitters like Royce Lewis and Jose Miranda, could test Fried’s 1.22 WHIP and .70 HR/9. Lewis’s .325 ISO and Miranda’s .212 ISO against left-hand pitchers highlight their potential to impact MLB odds in this matchup.
Neither team scores runs in the first inning, while neither pitcher allows first-inning runs. Bailey Ober is a little more iffy, but he should be able to escape the first inning unscathed, especially at home. Meanwhile Max Fried has been stellar all season with a NRFI record of 18-4.
