## Tonight's Slate

- MIL at LAD (Robert Gasser vs Blake Snell), 8:00 PM

## Milwaukee Brewers at Los Angeles Dodgers

*Robert Gasser (LHP): 71% NRFI, 3.87 ERA, 1.19 WHIP, 8.5 K/9, 2.9 BB/9, NRFI streak of 7. Blake Snell (LHP): 80% NRFI, 1.90 ERA, 1.10 WHIP, 11.7 K/9, 3.4 BB/9. First pitch 8:00 PM ET at UNIQLO Field at Dodger Stadium (515 ft).*

Blake Snell can end the first inning without the ball ever leaving the infield, missing bats at a 11.7 K/9 clip, and swing and miss is the cleanest path to a scoreless opening frame. Robert Gasser is the softer side at 71% NRFI, but he only has to be ordinary in the first for this to cash. Blake Snell is trending up as well, a 1.39 ERA across his last five starts against a 1.90 season mark. The pressure point is the Los Angeles Dodgers lineup, which has handled LHP well this year at a .812 OPS in that split, so Robert Gasser cannot afford a sloppy first. A thin NRFI lean at best.

## Before You Lock

Confirm the starting pitchers on the [NRFI dashboard](/mlb/nrfi). A bullpen game kills NRFI value immediately. Check the weather at first pitch and be careful at altitude, Coors in particular. NRFI bets land 55% to 65% of the time historically, and you need roughly 52.4% to break even at minus 110 odds.

For the complete NRFI methodology, including pitcher evaluation, venue factors, and bankroll sizing, see the [NRFI Strategy Guide](/blog/nrfi-betting-strategy-guide).
