After a very light Thursday slate, we're back with a packed Friday. Teams are getting their weekend series started, providing plenty of opportunities for profit. There are several divisional battles going on, as well as some revenge games. If you're someone who doesn't prefer to sweat out a 3-hour long game, then these are the plays for you. It takes just 6 outs, or about 15 minutes, to boost your bankroll. Although it's a large slate of games, we've narrowed down the best spots to target and start your weekend off strong. Along with these early plays, be sure to check ou t our thoughts on the side and total for all of today's games.
Let's take a closer look at my 2 favorite YRFI bets for today.
New York Yankees vs Boston Red Sox YRFI (-125)
There's no better way to get started than by targeting the best rivalry in the game. The Yankees and Red Sox are meeting up for their 1st series since the all-star break. Since then, New York has been in their roughest stretch of the season, while Boston has become 1 of the worst pitching staffs in the league. Along with incredible hitters at the top of both lineups, it’s a perfect combination for early action.'
They'll also be hitting in Fenway Park, which ranks 2nd for extra-base hits and 3rd for overall runs. The Red Sox have been able to prove that prowess for doubles with both Rafael Devers and Xander Bogaerts among the league-lead in that statistic. Those 2 are guaranteed an at-bat in the 1st inning, and will be facing Yankees starter Domingo German. He's their last option in the rotation, and his 5.09 ERA proves that. The Sox also have newly-acquired Tommy Pham leading off the lineup, who has 8 RBI across their last 4 games.'
