Best Bets on Today's MLB YRFI and NRFI Markets
I went 4-2 with my best bets last week and improved my record to 26-22 on the season with VSIN writeups. I’m not thrilled with those results, but my goal in betting this market and baseball every day is never to get too high or too low and to stay the course throughout the marathon regular season.
A big reason why these bets have become so popular is that your wager only spans six outs, but it also means one mistake in either direction usually is the difference between winning or losing. Keep reading to find out my best bets for Friday, June 30th.
San Diego Padres at Cincinnati Reds
This game has the highest total on the board today for any game not being played at Coors Field, so I feel confident we will see some early scoring. Seth Lugo is the definition of an average MLB starting pitcher with a 7-3 NRFI record and mediocre data to back it up. His fastball is in the bottom half of the league in terms of velocity, and besides his walk rate, none of his data really pops. He faces a Reds lineup that has posted a 49% scoring rate in the first inning at home this season (20-for-41) which is the second-highest in MLB behind the Braves.
