Pittsburgh Pirates vs Seattle Mariners: NRFI (-135)

For our NRFI selection on Friday, I’ll be targeting this rock solid pitching matchup in Seattle. Mitch Keller has been one of the biggest surprises in the National League for the Pirates, and his advanced metrics show that his ERA of 2.44 isn’t a fluke. He’ll be taking on a Mariners offense that doesn’t exactly pack a punch (24th in SLG, 25th in OPS), so I expect another strong outing from the Pittsburgh ace in this contest. On the other side, Keller will be opposed by George Kirby, who has been really strong this season, particularly at home. While I’m bullish on the Pirates getting to Kirby as the game goes along, I do think he’ll get off to a strong start in what has historically been a very pitcher-friendly park in Seattle.
