Seattle Mariners vs Houston Astros: NRFI (-135)
For my first pick on Saturday’s slate, I’m taking the NRFI in this AL West clash between the Seattle Mariners and Houston Astros. The issue for Seattle this season has certainly not been its pitching, and Bryan Woo is no exception to that rule. Don’t let his 4.08 ERA fool you, the young right-hander is pitching at a high level in 2023, sitting in the top 10 percentile of all starters in strikeout rate, xBA and xwOBA. Furthermore, his xERA of 2.72 shows that he’s been extremely unlucky to this point. Framber Valdez has been equally effective on the other side for Houston, as the righty boasts an ERA of 2.49 and has great career numbers against the top of this weak Mariners lineup. Let’s back the NRFI in what should be a low-scoring affair on Saturday.
