A 16-game, 30-team slate makes up Tuesday’s MLB action. For those looking to cash in quickly on a bet, nothing makes more sense than an NRFI. With that being said, there’s more to this one than meets the eye. Some pitchers thrive early, while others take more time to get settled in than others. Which NRFI picks are worth a closer look on Tuesday?
Ahead of today’s Major League Baseball contests, here are two NRFI bets worth placing on DraftKings Sportsbook.

Braves vs. Mets NRFI (-135)
In this battle between contender and pretender, it’ll be Chris Sale taking the mound for Atlanta. Through 111.0 innings of work (19 starts), the veteran has notched an impressive 2.19 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 134 strikeouts (10.9 K/9). It’s yet another fantastic season in a career full of them for the southpaw. Sale comes into this one with a sparkling 89.5% NRFI rate in 2026 as well. He’s poised for even more success tonight against a hapless Mets offense missing Juan Soto (calf). New York has accounted for a lackluster 28.04% YRFI rate, 11th-worst in baseball. There isn’t much reason to believe this squad scores early vs. a Cy Young contender.
On the other side, it’ll be Christian Scott making his 15th start of the season. All things considered, the right-hander has been a stabilizing force in this Mets rotation. Over 63.1 innings pitched, he’s posted a 3.13 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 78 strikeouts (11.1 K/9). Even more important (for the sake of this bet), he possesses a 78.3% NRFI rate through 23 career starts. Granted, navigating this Braves lineup won’t be easy by any means. That’s especially true with Ronald Acuna Jr. activated off of the injured list. Still, with Sale on the other side, this NRFI bet likely comes down to Scott’s ability to pick up three outs. That’s a wager that most bettors should feel confident in on Tuesday.
UPDATE: Braves vs. Mets has been postponed on Tuesday due to inclement weather.
Brewers vs. Giants NRFI (-140)
Logan Henderson has been an underrated arm for the NL Central-leading Brewers. When healthy, the rookie has been an absolute force on the mound. During 38.1 innings (eight starts), he’s delivered a 3.05 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 47 strikeouts (11.0 K/9). It’s not the biggest sample size, but Milwaukee fans should be looking forward to seeing the 24-year-old in action tonight. He’ll get to face a middling Giants lineup that can take some time to get going. San Francisco has a 22.64% YRFI rate, second-worst in all of baseball. In comparison, Henderson has allowed a first inning run on just one occasion this season (87.5%).
As for the home team, it’ll be Landen Roupp toeing the slab at Oracle Park. The righty comes into this one with a 3.93 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 113 strikeouts (9.2 K/9). He’s allowed just three earned runs (1.29 ERA) over his previous 21.0 innings of work as well. Roupp has put up a solid 79.0% NRFI rate this season. As for the Brewers, they wield one of the league’s better offensive units. However, the club doesn’t always strike early. Milwaukee’s 24.0% YRFI rate on the road is tenth-lowest in the majors. Keeping that in mind, expect both hurlers to escape the first inning unscathed tonight.
