We’re just over a month away from the end of the MLB regular season and the start of playoffs, and the finish line is in sight for teams battling for seeding and wild card positions. We have a bunch of intriguing matchups to look forward to today, including Phillies vs Mets on TBS, Diamondbacks vs Brewers, Padres vs Mariners, Cubs vs Giants and Reds vs Dodgers. You can find our expert MLB picks for EVERY GAME here, but right now we’re diving into my YRFI/NRFI best bet for Tuesday, August 26.
YRFI/NRFI best bet: Braves vs Marlins – NRFI (-125)
Odds available at DraftKings Sportsbook at time of publishing.
We have another 6 outs and a dream this Tuesday. On the mound for Atlanta is the red-hot Hurston Waldrep, who has pitched 24.2 innings across 4 outings with an impressive 0.73 ERA. He comes up against a Marlins team that hasn’t scored in the 1st inning in 6 straight games. On the flip side, we have Sandy Alcantara. Our friend Sandy has had a tough ride this year, but seems to have found his stride over his last 2 starts. He has a great opportunity to continue that resurgence against the Braves, who haven’t scored in the 1st inning in 5 straight games. Matt Olson is a career 2-22 against Alcantara and he should absolutely be one of the 3 bats we are fading here. I like the value of the NRFI in this matchup, making it my YRFI/NRFI best bet of the day. Let’s roll!
