Shayne Trail breaks down his favorite NRFI/YRFI bets of the day below, but you can follow all of his bets in the Action Network app.
Gerrit Cole & Justin Steele
Yankees vs Pirates, 6:35 p.m. ET | Cubs vs Diamondbacks, 9:40 p.m. ET
Our primary custom NRFI selection today showcases the American League Cy Young front runner and New York Yankees' ace, Gerrit Cole. This season, Cole has delivered an impressive NRFI record of 24–6, further accentuated by a nearly perfect 12–1 road NRFI split.
Collectively, this solidifies Cole's NRFI prowess at 26–3 when pitching on the road since 2022. Notably, when facing batters the first time through the order this season, Cole has exhibited remarkable proficiency, allowing only a .206 average in 250 at-bats. Adding to his advantage today, Cole has not yet faced any of these Pittsburgh Pirates hitters, providing him with the element of unfamiliarity.
Our second customNRFI selection today features the National League Cy Young potential runner-up and the Chicago Cubs veteran, Justin Steele. In this season, Steele has displayed a stellar NRFI record of 23–4, complemented by an almost flawless 9–1 Road NRFI split. This cumulates into Steele's impressive NRFI record of 43–8 since 2022.
Historically, when confronting Arizona Diamondbacks hitters, Steele has consistently held his own, boasting notable statistics against players such as Ketel Marte at 1–8, Tommy Pham at 2–7, Christian Walker at 1–8, Lourdes Gurriel Jr. at 1–3, and Corbin Carroll at 1–3. Additionally, Steele enjoys a distinct advantage today, as in their last 25 first-inning plate appearances, the Diamondbacks have only managed to obtain three hits for a .125 average.
This custom NRFI is priced at (-172).
As always, six outs to glory…
