Gerrit Cole for the Yankees shows a WHIP of 1.33, K% of 24.1, BB% of 8.2, and HR/9 of 1.40 with a NRFI/YRFI Record of 9-2. Patrick Corbin of the Nationals counters with a WHIP of 1.54, K% of 16.5, BB% of 7.1, and HR/9 of 1.27, holding a NRFI/YRFI Record of 20-6. Both pitchers have demonstrated control and the ability to limit home runs, which is crucial for MLB odds considerations.

The Yankees show strong potential against left-hand pitchers, highlighted by Aaron Judge’s impressive .383 ISO and .482 wOBA, indicating significant power and on-base capabilities. Gleyber Torres and Giancarlo Stanton add depth with .091 and .292 ISOs, respectively, suggesting a lineup that can capitalize on Corbin’s weaknesses. CJ Abrams leads the Nationals with a .183 ISO and .353 wOBA against right-hand pitchers, indicating a solid top-of-the-lineup threat. However, the Nationals may struggle with lower power numbers down the lineup, as seen with Keibert Ruiz’s .123 ISO.

In five of the last seven games Yankees games, a first-inning run has been scored. That’s helped push New York’s YRFI percentage to over 40%. Yes, Patrick Corbin has a NRFI/YRFI record of 20-6, but the Yankees lineup is on fire right now. That will continue tonight.

Yankees vs Nationals NRFI/YRFI prediction: YRFI (-125)

Justin Verlander for the Astros showcases a WHIP of 1.19, K% of 21.3, BB% of 6.7, and HR/9 of 1.60 with a NRFI/YRFI Record of 7-4. Aaron Nola of the Phillies counters with a WHIP of 1.18, K% of 22.1, BB% of 6.2, and HR/9 of 1.30, holding a NRFI/YRFI Record of 20-6. These statistics are crucial for MLB odds considerations in NRFI/YRFI betting.

Jose Altuve, Alex Bregman, and Yordan Alvarez bring strong performances against right-hand pitchers, with Alvarez showcasing a notable .380 wOBA and .249 ISO, indicating potential for significant hits and runs. Bregman and Altuve contribute with .348 and .328 wOBAs, respectively, enhancing the Astros’ MLB odds against Nola’s pitching style. Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper stand out with high wOBAs of .333 and .356 against right-hand pitchers, coupled with impressive ISOs of .239 and .251, pointing towards their power-hitting capabilities. Schwarber’s high K% might be a concern, but his BB% indicates a good eye at the plate. Trea Turner and Alec Bohm add depth with their solid wOBAs of .332 and .348.

Aaron Nola has been fairly consistent in not allowing first-inning runs. At the same time, the Phillies have one of the best lineups in MLB. And the Astros lineup isn’t sliced liver, either. Needless to say both Houston and Philly have the ability to score runs in the first inning. But neither team will get across the plate in the first inning tonight in Philadelphia.

Astros vs Phillies NRFI/YRFI prediction: NFRI (-110)
