Minnesota Twins vs Tampa Bay Rays: NRFI (-135)
To start off with our NRFI selection on Thursday’s card, I’m going to back both pitchers in this Twins vs Rays matchup. Bailey Ober gets the ball for Minnesota, and that’s a good sign for the Twins. The right-hander has pitched to a 2.33 ERA this season, with just 12 ER allowed over his last 8 outings. He should see more success against Tampa Bay, a lineup that has not seen much of Ober to this point. On the other side, the Rays are countering with Tyler Glasnow, who got off to a rocky start against the Dodgers in his first outing since returning from injury. However, the right-hander responded nicely in his next outing against the Red Sox, allowing just 1 run and 4 hits while striking out 6 batters. I’d expect a similar performance at home in this one.
