Hanshin Tigers @ Tokyo Yakult NRFI -205 | Jingu Stadium | May 13
Haruto Takahashi takes the mound with a 0.21 ERA on the season and has yet to allow a single run against Yakult in any head-to-head outing this year.  Yamano counters for Tokyo with a 2.15 ERA and a 1.59 ERA specifically against Hanshin — two of the cleaner starting pitcher profiles on the entire NPB slate today. First innings are controlled, efficient, and low-drama with both arms.
Yakult is batting just .213 against Hanshin this season with 66 strikeouts across the series  — one of the weakest contact profiles in this matchup all year. Hanshin leads the season series 5-2 and has outscored Yakult 40-18 , meaning Tokyo’s offense is consistently getting dominated in this rivalry. A lineup that can’t generate runs across a full game is not getting on the board in the first inning against Takahashi.
The book has this total at 6 — the lowest on the NPB slate today. Market and matchup aligned. Two elite arms, a punchless home offense, and a rivalry where one team is completely in control. Clean NRFI spot.

Los Angeles Angels -130 vs Chicago White Sox | Rate Field | April 28
Jose Soriano is 5-0 with a 0.24 ERA and 43 strikeouts in 37.2 innings this season  — the most dominant starter in baseball right now by a wide margin. Soriano’s team has covered in each of his six starts this season and Mike Trout enters hitting .278 with two home runs over his last five games.  Rate Field plays as a hitter-friendly environment but Soriano’s stuff suppresses contact regardless of park.
White Sox hitters are slugging just .363 against right-handed pitching since last season — second lowest in MLB  and now face the hottest righty in the game. Davis Martin counters with a solid 2.01 ERA but this Angels lineup generates 4.8 runs per game and features Trout, Neto, and Soler in a favorable right-handed matchup against a pitcher who doesn’t miss many bats.
Models project the Angels to win with 61.6% confidence  — yet the line sits at -130, which is underpriced for a team with this starter on the mound. Soriano is the best arm on the slate tonight and Chicago’s offense simply doesn’t have the profile to get to him. Back the Angels to let Soriano do his thing.

Milwaukee Brewers -130 vs Arizona Diamondbacks | American Family Field | April 28
Milwaukee just snapped a four-game skid with a 5-0 shutout of Pittsburgh  and now gets a favorable home matchup to build on it. Chad Patrick gets the ball with a 2.35 ERA and 1.26 WHIP over 23 innings  — a steady, homer-suppressing arm that profiles well at home. American Family Field plays as a neutral-to-pitcher-friendly environment tonight.
Arizona sends out Merrill Kelly who is an absolute disaster to open 2026 — 9.31 ERA and 2.28 WHIP over just 9.2 innings, allowing 15 hits and four home runs.  The D-backs lineup has pop with Carroll and Marte but Milwaukee’s pitching staff has been stingy enough to keep games manageable. Patrick vs a struggling veteran arm at home is a clear structural edge.
William Contreras is posting a .336 OBP and Gary Sanchez has five home runs and 14 RBIs  anchoring a lineup that makes enough contact to support Patrick’s low-walk, low-homer approach. The pitching gap between these two starters tonight is significant and the home crowd gives Milwaukee another layer of advantage. -130 is fair juice for the spot.

Boston Red Sox -105 vs Toronto Blue Jays | Rogers Centre | April 28
Boston has won four straight and blanked Toronto 5-0 Monday behind Suarez’s one-hitter with 10 Ks over eight innings.  Payton Tolle gets the ball today after striking out 11 in six innings in his season debut last week — a lefty the Blue Jays have never seen. The Red Sox have allowed four runs or fewer in nine of their last eleven games and are 11-1 when their starter goes six-plus innings. 
Toronto counters with Trey Yesavage making his season debut off the IL after a shoulder impingement. He split four rehab games between Class A and Triple-A going 0-1 with a 7.50 ERA  — not inspiring for a pitcher facing a hot lineup for the first time this year. Boston’s offense has homered in five straight games and is seeing the ball well against righties.
Sonny Gray is out with a hamstring strain but Tolle stepped in and delivered immediately. Red Sox starters have gone at least six innings in four of their last five games  and this lineup is locked in. A battle-tested offense against a rusty debuting starter at nearly even money is a strong spot. -105 is flat value on a team playing its best baseball of the season.

Yomiuri Giants vs Hiroshima Carp NRFI -225 | Tokyo Dome | April 28
Norimoto takes the hill for Yomiuri with a 1.50 ERA through three starts, including six scoreless innings against Hanshin and one run allowed in five against Chunichi. He controls the early innings cleanly with minimal drama — exactly what you want anchoring a NRFI. Tokyo Dome plays as a neutral indoor environment with zero weather impact.
Hiroshima enters having scored just one run total in their last two games against Hanshin — a 2-2 draw and a 0-1 loss. Their batting average in head-to-head matchups this season sits at .153 — one of the weakest offensive outputs in the Central League. Tokoda starts for Hiroshima and while inconsistent on the season, has been effective in April keeping teams off the board early.
Both previous meetings between these teams this season ended 5-2 and 2-1 — low-scoring, pitcher-controlled games. The Giants own a 2.12 ERA in this matchup and the Carp are at 2.00. Two pitchers keeping games tight early, an indoor dome, and the most offensively challenged team in the league on the road. Clean spot for the NRFI.

Shohei Ohtani Over 0.5 Hits -250 vs San Francisco | Oracle Park | April 23
Ohtani’s 53-game on-base streak ended last night but he remains one of the hardest outs in baseball with a .402 OBP and .908 OPS on the season. He’s batting leadoff and has been the Dodgers’ offensive engine all year  and one cold night against a hot pitcher doesn’t change his underlying profile. The Dodgers are a bounce-back team and Ohtani sets that tone from the top of the order.
Logan Webb starts for San Francisco — a ground-ball pitcher who limits hard contact but doesn’t generate elite swing-and-miss rates. Ohtani carries a 51.6% hard-hit rate and 94.3 average exit velocity in 2026  — the contact quality is there even when results don’t show. Webb gives up his share of hits to left-handed bats and Ohtani has the bat speed to barrel anything in the zone.
Over 0.5 hits is one of the safest props in baseball when the player is elite and healthy. Ohtani has recorded at least one hit in the vast majority of his starts this season. Last night was his first hitless game since August 23 of last year  — confirm his lineup status before betting, but if he’s in, the value is there at this number.
Casey Mize Over 4.5 Ks -158 vs Milwaukee | Comerica Park | April 22
Mize is running a career-high 9.9 K/9 in 2026 with his splitter posting a 35.7% whiff rate — hitters are batting just .138 against it . He’s cleared 5 Ks in three of four starts this season including 7 at Fenway last time out. Comerica plays pitcher-friendly and he’s gone at least five innings every start.
Milwaukee doesn’t punish pitchers who work down in the zone and expand off it. Mize’s four-seamer and splitter combo is built for exactly that — generating early counts and chases below the zone against contact-first lineups on the road.
When Mize lasts at least five innings, he hits over 4.5 Ks in 16 of 24 starts  and he has cleared five innings in all four outings this year. The runway is there and the stuff is the best it’s been in his career.

Sidney Crosby Anytime Goal +197 vs Philadelphia | Xfinity Mobile Arena | April 22 — Playoffs G3
Crosby is scoreless through two games but the Penguins are down 0-2 in a must-win spot — this is exactly the moment he was built for. He has more goals against the Flyers than any other team in his career with 60  and has scored against them in every building they’ve played in since his NHL debut. Rakell rejoins his line alongside Rust which gives Pittsburgh its most dangerous trio back together in a survival game.
Vladar has been exceptional with a .955 save percentage through two starts  but a goalie running that hot against a team this desperate is unsustainable. Pittsburgh quietly matched Philadelphia in expected goals in Game 2 despite the 3-0 final — the shots just aren’t going in yet. A bounced puck or one power play conversion changes everything.
+197 on a 38-year-old all-time great in a back-against-the-wall road game against his most historic rival is the definition of plus-money value. Crosby has 71 playoff goals in his career  and has never shied away from moments like this. The price reflects the cold streak not the player.

Edmonton Oilers -190 vs Anaheim Ducks | Rogers Place | April 22 — Playoffs G2
Oilers won Game 1 4-3 on a dramatic late comeback, with Dickinson and Kapanen each scoring twice. McDavid won his sixth Art Ross with 138 points  and is locked in leading a series at home. Draisaitl is healthy after missing the final 14 regular season games. Rogers Place in a playoff series the Oilers lead is one of the most hostile buildings in hockey.
Anaheim is making its first playoff appearance since 2018  — young, fast, and talented but completely inexperienced in this environment. Gibson will keep them competitive but the Ducks haven’t been in a building like this, in a must-not-lose spot, against two of the best players in the world.
Edmonton has reached the Stanley Cup Final two consecutive seasons  and knows exactly how to close out a series at home. Up 1-0 with McDavid healthy and the crowd behind them, this is a favorable spot at a price the market justifies.

OVER 1.5 POINTS
McDavid closed out the regular season with 138 points in 82 games, leading the league in scoring and factoring into nearly half of Edmonton’s goals all year. His L10 showed 4 goals and 10 assists, putting him well over 1.5 in eight of those ten outings. The last time these two teams met on March 28th, McDavid went 1G/2A and finished with 3 points in a 4-2 Oilers win.
The matchup angle here is favorable. Anaheim allowed 3.23 goals per game this season, ranking 25th in the league, and their penalty kill sits at just 18.6 percent on the power play conversion — Edmonton’s PP ran at 30.6, best in hockey. McDavid on the man advantage against a leaky Ducks unit is where this number gets hit.
At -135, you’re essentially laying $1.35 to win $1 on the best player in the world in a home playoff opener against a team he torched all season. The implied probability sits around 57 percent, but McDavid has been clearing 1.5 at a clip well above that. Playoff McDavid with something to prove after back-to-back Final losses is not a spot to fade.

Bo Horvat Anytime Goal +140 vs Toronto | UBS Arena | April 9
Horvat centers the first line between Anders Lee and Simon Holmstrom with full first-unit power-play time. He has 2 goals and 6 assists in the last 10 games and is averaging 3.5 shots per game in March. The Islanders have lost four straight and just hired Pete DeBoer — this is a genuine desperation home game with the playoff race on the line. Horvat is the engine of this team and this is exactly the spot where he elevates. The Isles won both previous meetings this season against Toronto, including a 3-1 decision in March.
Toronto is running on fumes. The Leafs played Wednesday, got shut out 4-0, and lost Stolarz, Brandon Carlo, and Dakota Joshua to injury in the same game. Artur Akhtyamov, a 24-year-old recalled from the AHL, is making his first career NHL start with a .903 AHL save percentage. A rookie goalie facing a desperate home team in a must-win game is a favorable setup for forwards generating volume. Toronto ranks 29th in goals against at 3.52 per game and has allowed four or more goals in four straight games.
Woll carries a 4.31 GAA and .881 save percentage over the last 10 games but now isn’t even available as a backup. Three first-line centers facing this Leafs defensive situation in recent weeks all cashed goal props — Schaefer scored in the March 17 meeting, Horvat himself posted a goal and assist in last season’s Toronto matchup, and John Tavares hit for two points against this Islanders backend in a recent reverse. Rookie netminder on a back-to-back road spot at a team playing like its season ends tonight. +140 is fair value.
