The implied probability for NRFI stands at approximately 55.56%, while YRFI has a probability of around 52.38%. Hayden Birdsong for the Giants shows a promising NRFI/YRFI record of 6-0, with a WHIP of 1.22, K% of 28.8, BB% of 11.4, and HR/9 of 1.19. MacKenzie Gore of the Nationals counters with a 19-3 NRFI/YRFI record, WHIP at 1.50, K% of 23.3, BB% of 8.4, and HR/9 of 0.73.

Tyler Fitzgerald and Matt Chapman show significant power against left-hand pitchers with ISOs of .371 and .182 respectively, promising potential for early runs for the Giants. This is the real concern for an early run, as we saw yesterday. While Gore has struggled a little bit, he is significantly better than Patrick Corbin. Gore has done a better job limiting home runs at a 0.71 HR/9 rate this season.

Giants vs. Nationals NRFI/YRFI Prediction: NRFI (-125)

For tonight’s game featuring the Angels against the Yankees, DraftKings has set the odds for NRFI at -110 and YRFI at -120. These odds translate to implied probabilities, with NRFI having a 52.4% chance of occurring and YRFI slightly higher at 54.5%.

Davis Daniel for the Angels shows a WHIP of 1.18, with a K% of 20, BB% of 2.1, and HR/9 at 1.23. His NRFI/YRFI record stands at 2-2. Luis Gil for the Yankees counters with a WHIP of 1.10, K% at 27.8, BB% of 11.2, and HR/9 at 0.80, holding an NRFI/YRFI record of 18-3. Both pitchers have strengths in limiting hits and runs.

The Yankees come into tonight’s game with a YRFI of 38%. However, in New York’s last 10 games, the bats have come back to life. Led by Juan Soto and Aaron Judge, the Yankees lineup is excellent for YRFI bets right now. And tonight in the Bronx is no different.

Angels vs. Yankees NRFI/YRFI Prediction: YRFI (-120)
