NRFI Bets Today - Washington Nationals vs. Chicago Cubs Prediction
The Chicago Cubs offense will be taking on Gore in his home field today during this first-inning matchup. This season, the Cubs are t-20th in first-inning runs per game and have only scored in three of their last ten first innings. While on the road in 2023, the Cubs are 9-2 (82%) to the NRFI, which should fare well with Gore here.
Next, Drew Smyly will take over for the Cubs, who has been absolutely dominant to begin the 2023 season. Aside from his first start of the year, the 33-year-old has posted a 1.57 ERA through 24.1 innings while going 4-0 to the NRFI. Smyly saw the Nationals once in 2022, completing the successful NRFI while beginning the game with three straight scoreless innings.
With the home team being the Nationals, they will be taking on Drew Smyly and the Cubs in the bottom of the first inning. The Nationals are tied-20th in the league also, with the Cubs in first-inning runs per game while also only scoring in three of their last ten first innings. Look for the experienced 31-year-old to dominate the young lineup for a quick three-outs.
