Braydon Fisher on the other side is fine at 67%, but it's the elite arm carrying the lean. Kyle Bradish's last-five ERA (1.74) is meaningfully better than his season 3.44 — the form is trending the right way. Braydon Fisher's 0.93 WHIP keeps the bases empty early. ## Pick 2: TB @ MIA — loanDepot park (Indoor) *72.5% combined NRFI · 4:10 PM ET* - **Shane McClanahan** (LHP) — 45% NRFI, 2.45 ERA, 1.02 WHIP, streak -1 - **Lake Bachar** (RHP) — 100% NRFI, 3.45 ERA, 0.96 WHIP, streak +1 Lake Bachar is the anchor here — a 100% NRFI rate that does most of the work for this play. Shane McClanahan on the other side is fine at 45%, but it's the elite arm carrying the lean. Shane McClanahan's last-five ERA (1.78) is meaningfully better than his season 2.45 — the form is trending the right way. Shane McClanahan's 1.02 WHIP means very few first-inning baserunners. > **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: SF @ CHC — Wrigley Field (600ft) *67.5% combined NRFI · 2:20 PM ET* - **Landen Roupp** (RHP) — 75% NRFI, 4.22 ERA, 1.31 WHIP, streak +2 - **Ben Brown** (RHP) — 60% NRFI, 1.92 ERA, 0.93 WHIP, streak +2 Landen Roupp's 75% scoreless-first rate is what makes this game playable. The other half — Ben Brown at 60% — is the mild risk to size against, but it's the kind of mild that wins more often than not. Worth noting: Landen Roupp's last-five ERA (5.98) is well above his season number (4.22). The trend has cooled. Ben Brown's 0.93 WHIP keeps the bases empty early. ## Honorable Mentions - **SEA @ DET** — combined 48.5% rate. - **CLE @ TEX** — combined 56% rate. - **WSH @ AZ** — combined 46% rate. ## Games to Avoid These matchups have the highest first-inning scoring risk on tonight's slate: **KC @ MIN** — Luinder Avila's 0% NRFI rate is the weak link here. Combined with Joe Ryan on the other side, this game has too many ways to score in the first. **NYM @ SD** — Nolan McLean's 33% NRFI rate is the weak link here. Combined with Griffin Canning on the other side, this game has too many ways to score in the first. **CIN @ STL** — Nick Lodolo's 5.20 ERA tells the story — he is vulnerable early and often, and the matchup math doesn't pencil out. ## 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.
