Best Bets on Today's MLB YRFI and NRFI Markets
The first day back from the All-Star break was a rough one as I went 0-2 on my best bets. Overall, the NRFI went 9-5, which makes sense if you consider the hitters have not faced live pitching in nearly a week and most of the starting pitchers were on their regular throw days. Sadly, one of the few YRFIs came in Seattle, where home runs continued to be a bugaboo for Luis Castillo, as he gave up a 2-strike, 2-out dinger to Kerry Carpenter in the top of the first. Tough break, but onward we go.

Miami Marlins at Baltimore Orioles
My biggest frustration last night came from a bet that I didn’t make. The Marlins lineup got back to doing what they did best before the All-Star break, which was failing to score a run in the first inning and cashing the NRFI. Today, Miami draws Kyle Gibson, who is having a relatively mediocre overall season with a subpar 11-8 NRFI record and just 4-4 at home. On the positive side, he’s only allowing 0.82 HRs per nine innings, down from 1.29 last season and his lowest rate since 2014.
