MLB NRFI and YRFI Picks – June 4 401k4n
Milwaukee Brewers vs. Cincinnati Reds 4v521i
First Pitch – 12:40 pm EST
Great American Ballpark – Cincinnati, OH
Broadcast – MLB TV
In that matinee on Wednesday, I like the NRFI to cash for us. The big reason is the pitching matchup. The Reds send Andrew Abbott to the bump and he’s been lights out this season. He carries a 1.51 ERA into action on Wednesday with 53 strikeouts in just 47.2 innings. He’s also only allowed two earned runs in his last five starts (28.2 innings). It’ll only help matters for him that he’s facing a Brewers lineup that has been struggling as of late. In their last three games, they’ve only managed 10 total runs. Abbott should be able to keep that trend in tact.
In the bottom of the inning, we see a squad that is struggling even more than the Brewers at the plate. The Reds have put only nine runs in their last four games and not even against particularly good pitching. That gives me hope that DL Hall can keep things rolling here. He’s only appeared twice this year, but was solid in both outings. He compiled 5.1 innings and only allowed one run. Those outings also came against much stronger offenses in Philadelphia and Boston, which gives me hope that he’ll get a quick three outs against these Reds.
NRFI/YRFI Bet for June 4: No (-120)
Kansas City royals vs. St. Louis Cardinals 5v33h
First Pitch – 7:45 pm EST
Busch Stadium – St. Louis, MO
Broadcast – MLB TV
The top of the first in this one sees one of the worst offenses in the majors trying to get to work. The Royals rank 28th in the majors in runs per game at 3.34. Things aren’t looking much better for them earlier in the game either. They rank 24th in first inning runs with just 0.38 per game. This is just some of the reason why I’m putting faith in Miles Mikolas to get an empty first frame. He also has been good in his own right. If we don’t include his most recent start – which was ittedly a bit rough – he has held opponents to just two earned runs in his previous three.
The bottom of the inning features an offense that is typically much better than the Royals, but have been really awful early in the game. The Cardinals currently are putting up just 0.33 first inning runs per game, which puts them in 28th place in the majors. Now they’ll face rookie Noah Cameron, who has been wildly stingy this season. In 25.2 innings (4 starts), he’s allowed just three earned runs. He has never allowed more than one earned run in a start before, and it doesn’t appear like now is the time for that to happen.
NRFI/YRFI Bet for June 4: No (-120)
