Landen Roupp sits at 79% NRFI; Lake Bachar (67%) just needs to be average for the bet to cash. Landen Roupp brings a 4-game NRFI streak into tonight. Lake Bachar's recent ERA (1.25 over his last five) is sharper than his season 2.97. ## Pick 2: BOS @ SEA — T-Mobile Park (Indoor) *61% combined NRFI · 10:10 PM ET* - **Ranger Suarez** (LHP) — 62% NRFI, 3.21 ERA, 1.17 WHIP, streak +2 - **Bryce Miller** (RHP) — 60% NRFI, 1.54 ERA, 0.71 WHIP, streak +3 When one starter is this lockdown in the first, you ride them. Ranger Suarez sits at 62% NRFI; Bryce Miller (60%) just needs to be average for the bet to cash. Worth noting: Ranger Suarez's last-five ERA (4.64) is well above his season number (3.21). The trend has cooled. Bryce Miller's 0.71 WHIP keeps the bases empty early. > **Want the full board?** See all of today's plays on [Top Plays](/top-plays), or dive deeper on the [NRFI dashboard](/mlb/nrfi). ## Pick 3: STL @ KC — Kauffman Stadium (750ft) *68% combined NRFI · 8:15 PM ET* - **Michael McGreevy** (RHP) — 79% NRFI, 2.99 ERA, 1.11 WHIP, streak +5 - **Seth Lugo** (RHP) — 57% NRFI, 3.86 ERA, 1.35 WHIP, streak +1 Michael McGreevy is the anchor here — a 79% NRFI rate that does most of the work for this play. Seth Lugo on the other side is fine at 57%, but it's the elite arm carrying the lean. Michael McGreevy brings a 5-game NRFI streak into tonight. Worth noting: Michael McGreevy's last-five ERA (4.67) is well above his season number (2.99). The trend has cooled. ## Honorable Mentions - **MIL @ ATL** — Martín Pérez riding a 4-game NRFI streak. - **TOR @ CHC** — combined 55% rate. - **WSH @ TB** — combined 51.5% rate. ## Games to Avoid These matchups have the highest first-inning scoring risk on tonight's slate: **PIT @ COL** — Coors at 5,200 feet does what Coors does — even the better arm here (Bubba Chandler at 42%) loses NRFI margin in this air. Pass. **CWS @ DET** — Tarik Skubal has allowed a first-inning run in 5 straight starts. The trend matters more than the season 13% rate, and tonight is not the spot to fade it. **MIN @ AZ** — Michael Soroka has allowed a first-inning run in 3 straight starts. The trend matters more than the season 36% rate, and tonight is not the spot to fade it. ## Related Guides - [How to Use the NRFI Dashboard](/blog/how-to-use-nrfi-dashboard) - [MLB Weather Betting Guide](/blog/mlb-weather-betting-guide) - [MLB Stats Explained](/blog/mlb-stats-explained) ## Before You Lock Confirm starting pitchers on the [NRFI dashboard](/mlb/nrfi) - a bullpen game kills NRFI value immediately. Check weather at first pitch and be careful at altitude (Coors in particular). NRFI bets land at 55-65% historically; you need ~52.4% to break even at -110.
