No Runs or More Runs - NRFI/YRFI Best Bets

NRFI - Philadelphia Phillies at Minnesota Twins (-115)

• Zack Wheeler for the Phillies, 2.70 ERA, 0.99 WHIP. 3.35 ERA over the last 7 starts, 4.17 ERA on the road, Twins rank 7^th in OPS vs. righties, and Wheeler will be making his first start since July 9^th because of back issues. With that said, tough not to like his numbers in the first, 19 starts allowing just 2 runs. Twins counter with Simeon Woods Richardson, 3.51 ERA, 1.15 WHIP, 4.06 ERA over the last 7, 3.58 ERA at home, and a 2.25 ERA in the opening frame. Phillies rank 5^th in OPS vs. righties. I'm going to close my eyes and hope for 6 without a run tonight at Target Field. 

NRFI - Chicago White Sox at Texas Rangers (-142)

• • Jon Gray for Texas, 3.96 ERA, 1.32 WHIP, 8.00 ERA over the last 7 starts, 3.78 ERA at home, and an ugly 6.19 ERA in the first. He gave up 9 against the Mets, gave up 8 against the Orioles. He can get rocked, but he also has also has 11 starts this year allowing 2 or fewer runs. The White Sox are 8 for 48 against him, .167 BA and the White Sox are still the 2^nd best NRFI team in baseball. That's enough for me. On the flip side, Garrett Crochet for the White Sox. 3.02 ERA, 0.95 WHIP on the season, 2.15 ERA over his last 7, 20 starts allowing just 3 runs in the first inning. Texas ranks 19^th in OPS vs. lefties, NRFI it is.
