#MLB No Runs First Inning

We are finally here, the last week of the regular season. After a long grueling season, most teams have three games remaining on the schedule. This means strange lineups, shortened starts, and altogether weird games. However, the train keeps running, so let's take a look a today's NRFI bets. Mets return home with their tails between their legs a…

With the Phillies' win yesterday, there is really one two teams still truly playing for something, the Mets and the Braves. This should not have a massive impact on our NRFI bets, but it could lead to changes in lineups with some of the bigger stars being sat. Cal Quantrill is starting for the Guardians today, and his 2022 season has been…

It's a getaway day in Major League Baseball, meaning we have day baseball! 20 teams take the diamond today, and the action gets underway at 1:10 p.m. ET with the Royals taking on the Tigers at Comerica Park. Games conclude out west with a divisional clash between the Rockies and Giants. The betting board wasn't very attractive today, so I went with…

Late-season betting is a tough line to walk. There are too many teams with little or nothing to play for and we never know how teams plan to use their pitching. With that said there are still opportunities to be had so let's dive in. St. Louis Cardinals at Milwaukee Brewers 7:40 ET The Brewers find themselves in one of the few remaining playoff…

Here's one of our top MLB No Runs First Inning (NRFI) picks and predictions for Tuesday's slate: Phillies vs. Cubs. Philadelphia Phillies at Chicago Cubs - 7:40 ET This season for Marcus Stroman has gone extremely similar to the remainder of his career. He succeeds by limiting walks, generating a ton of groundballs, and limiting homers. This…

One of the few remaining storylines of the 2022 MLB season came to a close last night, with Albert Pujols launching career home runs 699 and 700 in a dominant win over the Dodgers. Congrats to Albert - one of the best sluggers of our generation. As for today's betting board, we have a good one with a full slate of college football and 15 Major…

Today looking through the NRFI bets, I saw something you do not see very often. The NRFI bet for the Padres Rockies game is+130. Both starters have ERAs over 5, so it makes sense on paper, but that's definitely one that I don't see very often. While I cannot justify betting that one, there are a few I like better on today's slate. The Guardians are…

The Astros are red hot right now as they enter off of a sweep against the Rays and have now won 10 out of their last 11 games. They'll take on the Orioles for four games this weekend, and the pitching matchup for game one is Justin Verlander vs. Kyle Bradish. This one's set for 7:05 p.m. ET tonight from Camden Yards. Verlander just about has the…

Check out our top MLB no runs first innings odds, picks, and predictions for Tuesday: Red Sox vs. Reds. This is a matchup between two young pitchers who look like they just might have what it takes to become front-of-the-rotation arms. For the Reds, Nick Lodolo will take the mound. Lodolo has been excellent with a 30% K-rate and back-to-back starts…

With only a few Mondays remaining in the MLB season, we only have a few more opportunities for our NRFI bets. Let's take a look at the best bets for the day! Luis Garcia is getting the start today for the Astros, and his season hasn't gone as planned for him. His 4.04 ERA is a bit higher than his career numbers, and while some of the estimators are…

Let's take a look at some No Runs First Inning prop bet odds and picks for today's game: Giants vs. Dodgers. I will preface this by saying that I do not love betting against the top third of the Dodgers offense to score a run. Mookie Betts, Trea Turner, and Freddie Freeman are three of the best hitters in baseball, and assuming that any pitcher can…

After a few days' hiatus due to some travel on my part and a power outage that robbed me of yesterday, we are back with the top NRFI bets of the day today. A full slate with extra games due to a few double headers gives us a ton to choose from today. When this game opens, Cody Morris will be taking the mound and making this third career start.…

In my first go at this piece yesterday, we did well with both our NRFI bets hitting. Today we have a full slate of games again to choose from. Let's dive into my favorite bets for today's games. On paper, these pitchers do not look like two players we would want to target for an NRFI bet, especially against two talented offenses like the Blue Jays…

It's getting to that time of the year when we pretty much get a stacked sports schedule every single day. With a UFC card in France this afternoon, all five major European soccer leagues in action, the return of college football, and a 15-game MLB slate, this can easily turn into one of those days where you don't leave the couch very often. My…

Let's take a look at some No Runs First Inning prop bet odds and picks for today's game: Marlins vs. Braves. Charlie Morton will have a tough act to follow after Spencer Strider's 16 strikeout performance last night. However, he'll have an opportunity to throw a gem of his own as he faces a Marlins lineup that has been one of the worst in baseball…
