MLB NRFI and YRFI Picks – September 8

Minnesota Twins vs. Kansas City Royals

First Pitch – 2:10 pm EST
Kauffman Stadium – Kansas City, Missouri
Broadcast – MLB TV

We’ve got a pair of teams from the AL Central who have really had their offense fall off lately. The Twins are perhaps the worse of the two at the plate as of late. In their last five games, they’ve scored just 11 runs (2.2 per game). All five of those games had NRFIs hit as well. I expect another to get started with Michael Wacha on the hill. He’s held his opponent to two or fewer runs in six of his last seven games. This Twins offense isn’t the one to break that trend.

To wrap up that NRFI, we’ll rely on Simeon Woods Richardson to deal and this Royals offense to stay cold as well. They’ve not been as bad as the Twins as of late – but it’s been close. They’ve scored just 16 runs in their last five games (3.2 per game) and that’s despite winning their last three. Woods Richardson hasn’t been as good as he was early in the season, but he still carries a sub-4.00 ERA into Sunday’s action and that’s good enough for me.

NRFI/YRFI Bet for September 8: No (-115)

Los Angeles Angels vs. Texas Rangers

First Pitch – 2:35 pm EST
Globe Life Field – Arlington, Texas
Broadcast – MLB TV

To kick off this NRFI, Andrew Heaney takes the ball for Texas. He’s coming off of three phenomenal starts that have me with plenty of faith in him. In the last three starts (15.0 innings), he’s allowed just one total run. That includes his last start against the Yankees where he held them scoreless over 5.0 innings – striking out eight and only allowing three hits in the process. With the Angels 27th in run scoring and 26th in first inning runs this year, there should be no issue with Heaney getting three outs here.

In the bottom of the inning, we see a Rangers team who hasn’t been great at the plate this year either. They rank 22nd in runs scored, but are actually a touch worse at home. They average just 4.08 runs per game at Globe Life Field, which puts them in 24th in MLB. They’ll face a rookie making just his second start of his career, Caden Dana. Dana flashed some good looking stuff en route to a win in his first outing. He went 6.0 innings and allowed just two runs. It’s a touch risky to assume he could do that again, but that risk has helped to reduce the line for today to a place where I like it.

NRFI/YRFI Bet for September 8: No (-120)
