Washington vs. Philadelphia NRFI Bets & Odds for Friday, 8/5/22

The full game total runs is set at 8.5, juiced towards the over. The over 8.5 runs is set at -118 odds on FanDuel sportsbook, and the under 8.5 runs is at -108. However, we’re breaking down prop bets in this betting preview for Friday.

I don’t have an official pick or prediction on the NRFI for this game, but the odds are below. The Yes Run First Inning (e.g. “YRFI”) is slightly favored on all sportsbooks. YRFI bets simply mean that there will be over 0.5 of a total run in the first inning.

FanDuel sportsbook has the YRFI at -115 odds, and the NRFI is set at -111 odds. I’d lean to bet on the YRFI with Josiah Gray & Kyle Gibson on the mound, but I don’t have an official pick.

In terms of pitching props, I like Kyle Gibson over 4 strikeouts. I played this on PrizePicks for 1 unit. I have a four pick Power Play entry. My PrizePicks parlay bet has two MLB props, as well as two soccer bets.
