For this matchup, Cristian Javier will take over in the top of the first inning against the Tampa Bay Rays offense. Javier has been excellent in the first inning this season with an overall 16-3 (84%) NRFI record that includes a near-perfect 7-1 (88%) record while in his hometown. At home this season, Javier has a 3.00 ERA compared to his 5.25 ERA on the road, which should be extremely advantageous tonight.

NRFI Today - Houston Astros vs. Tampa Bay Rays Prediction
Javier will face an offense in the Rays that has cashed their last eight NRFIs in a row heading into this matchup. Between the first five batters of the Rays' offense, they are a combined 1-11 in their career versus Javier while totaling no extra-base hits, runs, or RBIs in any of those at-bats. With a stagnant Rays offense combined with the extraordinary splits of Javier, look for NRFI success to follow.
After Javier, Shane McClanahan will take over to battle against the Houston Astros offense. McClanahan this season is a league-leading AL CY Young candidate and has posted a 2.89 ERA, 1.16 WHIP, and .211 opponent batting average while currently being 17-2 (89%) to the NRFI this season through his 19 starts.
McClanahan will look to face a Houston Astros offense who, in his last appearance, cashed the NRFI against this squad. Although the Astros rank atop the league in fourth in first-inning runs, they rank 10th in first-inning runs at home, which is a drastic decrease. McClanahan has shown success against this lineup in his last appearance and will look to repeat his dominance here.
