Los Angeles Dodgers vs Seattle Mariners: NRFI (-120)
For my first pick on Friday’s slate, I’m going with the NRFI in this matchup between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Seattle Mariners. Both of these young pitchers have been stellar this season and I expect that outlook to hold in this contest. George Kirby gets the ball for the Mariners and the right-hander has been excellent out this season with a 3.48 ERA and 3.89 xERA. Kirby has the 6th-shortest odds for the AL Cy Young award despite being only 25 years old, a sign that he should be a great pitcher for this Mariners squad for years to come. Even with the firepower Los Angeles has at the top of the lineup, they don’t have any experience against Kirby. The righty should set down Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman and company in short order.
