I have just one MLB NRFI & YRFI model pick and prediction for the smaller slate on Monday, July 22,
MLB NRFI & YRFI Bets: Monday, July 22
Rays vs. Yankees
Starting Pitchers: Zack Littell vs. Carlos Rodon
Due to some significant price differences across the market, I'd only bet this YRFI at BetMGM, ESPN BET and BetRivers (or other associated books that use the same line). I'm not projecting enough of an edge to pay the higher juice beyond -120 at bigger shops throughout the industry.
With that said, it's a solid spot for a YRFI, largely thanks to the Rays' platoon splits against left-handed pitching, where they're a top-five offense. All four hitters at the top of their lineup have better numbers against lefties, and Carlos Rodon has an ERA over five his first time through the order.
Plus, guaranteed at-bats for Juan Soto and Aaron Judge against a mediocre pitcher like Zack Littell also help a ton.
