Prediction of Today's NRFI: Don't Underestimate the Pitchers of Seattle Mariners
It's April 22, and I'm all over these NRFI picks for the day 🌟
Let's kick things off with the Padres squaring off against the Tigers. I'm taking the NRFI at -115 over at bet365. Jack Flaherty's been a beast in 2025, channeling his 2019 magic with a sparkling 2.53 ERA and racking up 25 strikeouts in just 21.1 innings. This season, he's a flawless 4-0 in NRFI games, only allowing three baserunners in the first frame while striking out five of every 12 batters he faces.
Now, Nick Pivetta's no slouch, either. He's just as reliable with a 1.07 ERA across four outings, making him one of the most dependable arms in the league so far.
Of course, there's always a risk that the bats will take over, as both the Padres and Tigers have some seriously potent first-inning lineups. But fortunately, that offensive strength helps keep the odds even, letting us grab this pick at a solid price.
Next up, we've got the Mariners facing off against the Red Sox, and I'm taking the NRFI at -115 over at BetMGM. Seattle's pitching staff has been on fire, and Bryce Miller's a big reason why. He's a perfect 4-0 in NRFI games this season, thanks to his aggressive approach and with the Red Sox hitting a pathetic .226 in the opening frame, Miller's got all the tools to shut 'em down early. He's even managed to stifle Alex Bregman, holding him to just 1-for-15.
Brayan Bello's back for the Red Sox, making his 2025 debut after a rocky 2024 campaign. As always, there's some uncertainty around Bello, but the market's hesitation cranks up the value on this pick. If you're feeling lucky, this NRFI bet could pay off big-time in a game that looks like it'll start off nice and quiet.
- Given the conditions, Jack Flaherty continues his stellar performance in sports, particularly baseball, as he faces the Tigers with an NRFI pick at -115 offered by bet365.
- The Padres-Tigers game isn't the only one to watch, as the Mariners challenge the Red Sox with an NRFI pick at -115 available at BetMGM. Seattle's Bryce Miller has been impressive this season with a perfect record in NRFI games.
- The Padres baseball team, despite having a potent first-inning lineup, could potentially help keep the odds even for the NRFI, allowing us to grab this pick at a solid price.
- Brayan Bello's return in the Red Sox game against the Mariners brings some uncertainty, but the market's hesitation increases the value for the NRFI bet, making it worth considering, especially if you're feeling lucky.
