There are 2 NRFI/YRFI bets I like on Saturday, so let's get right into it.
San Francisco Giants vs Los Angeles Dodgers: NRFI (-110)
While the series opener turned out to be an offensive explosion, I still think the Dodgers/Giants series is one that will be predicated on good starting pitching. And while Saturday’s contest doesn’t feature either team’s best pitcher, both are still solid. In particular, Julio Urias has been very good for the Dodgers, especially at home. Posting a 2.89 ERA and WHIP of 1.02 for the season, the lefty is more than capable of setting down a middling Giants lineup. Urias has surrendered a first-inning run in just 2 of his last 7 outings. I don’t expect that to change against a team that he’s pitched very well against in recent meetings.
