We swept the board yesterday with all three picks, bringing our record for the week to 9-1. Unfortunately, it's a fairly quiet day of baseball on Thursday.
Today, we have just one pick on the smaller slate.
Let's dive into my MLB NRFI picks and model predictions for Thursday.
MLB NRFI, YRFI Picks — April 24, 2025
Mariners vs Red Sox NRFI/YRFI Prediction
Starting Pitchers: Bryan Woo vs. Garrett Crochet
This NRFI is all about the pitchers. Not only are both Bryan Woo and Garrett Crochet strong overall arms, but they also have solid first-time-through-the-order splits.
Crochet has allowed just one run his first time through the order across 11.1 innings this season, and that run came in the second inning. That means he's a perfect 5-0 to the NRFI so far in 2025.
While Woo hasn't been quite as dominant, he's been a strong starter historically. This season, he has a solid 3.38 ERA his first time through the order.
That makes the Red Sox a slight risk here, but not one we can't overcome at reasonably low juice.
Plus, we're looking at fairly solid pitching weather that cuts scoring about 8%, according to Weather Edge.
The best line is at BetRivers, but I'd play the widely available -130 if I had to.
