NRFI - St. Louis Cardinals at Washington Nationals (+102)

This is now personal for me. On Friday, former Minnesota Twin Sonny Gray gave up a run with 2 down in the first to cost me the NRFI. On Saturday, former Minnesota Twin Lance Lynn gave up 4 runs in the first to cost me the NRFI. If lefty DJ Herz can hold the Cardinals scoreless in the top half my fate will be in yet another former Minnesota Twins pitcher today with Kyle Gibson on the hill. Cardinals rank 29^th in OPS vs. lefties so that should help Herz. 6 outs, that's all I need. Let's cash one of these.

NRFI - Toronto Blue Jays at Seattle Mariners (-130)

Blue Jays rank 18^th in OPS vs. righties, Mariners rank 27^th in baseball. Jose Berrios gets the ball for Toronto, 3.63 ERA, 3.00 ERA in the opening frame, 4.75 ERA over his last 7 starts, 4.38 ERA on the road. Splits are concerning until you look at who he has faced of late. Astros, Yankees, Guardians, Guardians, Brewers, and Orioles. All 6 opponents rank in the Top 10 for runs scored, Seattle ranks 27th. George Kirby for the Mariners, 3.32 ERA, 2.40 ERA at home, 1.87 ERA over the last 7 starts. NRFI it is.
