Let's take a closer look at my 2 favorite YRFI bets for today.
Chicago Cubs vs Philadelphia Phillies YRFI (-145)
Let's get our plays started nice and early with the 1st game of the day. These plays are meant to provide profit quickly, so it only seems logical. It's also telling that there's plenty of factors leading towards a run in the 1st inning of this game based on the odds. However, the likelihood still makes this play worth it. First and foremost is Kyle Schwarber leading off for the Phillies. He just had a leadoff home run in Friday's series opener, extending his lead in homers for the National League. Similarly, teammate Nick Castellanos should do his part. As a former Red, he has a history with Cubs starter Drew Smyly.'
He has a 1.069 OPS against him, and is guaranteed an at-bat in the 1st inning. Similarly, Cubs all-star starter Willson Contreras will also see the plate in the 1st inning. It's been Chicago dominating this series, despite not being the ones to score in the 1st frame. That should change this afternoon, as they're facing 2nd-year pitcher Bailey Falter. The Phillies usual-reliever is getting just his 6th start of the year. Behind Contreras in the Cubs lineup is Ian Happ batting 3rd. That's more great news for early production, as his 92 hits is the 11th-most in the National League. Regardless of which team gets it done, there should be some excitement to start the day.'
