somerso Like many, you probably wonder what the MLB best bets are for the day. In this article, I will be using stat-backed predictions as to the best plays and NRFIs of the day on 4/22. I will be focusing on 2 NRFIs and 1 best play of the day.
NRFI MLB Best Bets of the day
- Houston Astros VS. Toronto Blue Jays. (-115) DK
Houston is last in the league with an 85% NRFI rate this year. They are facing Chris Bassett, who has a 0.77 ERA this season in 23 innings. Toronto has a 68% NRFI rate and has 2 of its 3 starts not allowing a run in the first inning. I like this at even odds.
2. Chicago Cubs Vs. LA Dodgers.
The Cubs and the Dodgers are at a near 70% and 75% NRFI rate, with 2 Aces on the mound. Shota Imanaga with a 2.22 ERA through 29 IP, and Dustin May with a 1.06 ERA through 17 IP. I think this is a lock as far as NRFI goes.
MLB Best Bet 4/22
Padres Vs. Tigers: Padres -1.5 (+165) ESPN Bet.
The Padres have been rolling this season with a 16-7 record. They play a good Tigers team, but I don’t think they can hang with the Padres. Nick Pivetta has a 1.57 ERA with 23.0 IP, and I don’t see that stopping against a Tigers team hitting .248 against RHP this season. The Padres are at a .755 Winning percentage and a .287 BA against RHP this season. Padres to cover -1.5 at +165 is the MLB Best Bet pof the day.
