Red Sox vs Mariners - 9:40 p.m. ET

Walker Buehler (5.01 ERA) vs Bryan Woo (3.39 ERA)
NRFI Record: Red Sox (33-41) vs Mariners (31-40)

At one point, Bryan Woo was in the AL Cy Young odds discussion, but while he's struggled recently, I absolutely love him in this specific matchup. Through 17 plate appearances against Woo, the Red Sox have struck out at a 47% (!) clip and own just a .159 xwOBA. They can't touch him, and we're riding with him as part of our best NRFI bets today.

Walker Buehler can get it done on the other side for us, too. He's coming off one of his best starts of the season against the Tampa Bay Rays, allowing three runs across seven innings. He also owns solid numbers against this Mariners team, who are hitting .156 against him across 37 plate appearances. That sample size will play.

Confidence level: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Guardians vs Giants - 9:45 p.m. ET

Slade Cecconi (4.26 ERA) vs Robbie Ray (2.55 ERA)
NRFI Record: Guardians (45-25) vs Giants (37-35)

Not only are these two of the best NRFI teams in baseball, but Robbie Ray dominates the Guardians. Cleveland is hitting just .185 across 62 plate appearances against the southpaw, with Jose Ramirez sitting at a paltry 1-10 against him in his career. The Guardians have scored a run in the first frame just once in their last 10 - let's make it 11 tonight. 

Slade Cecconi will bring us home. He's allowed just three earned runs across his last 10 innings pitched and is in the middle of his best stretch of baseball this year. We're going to ride with the hot hand as part of our best NRFI bets today to get us three simple outs - even if he has to deal with an angry Rafael Devers tonight.
