Wrapping up the weekend on the diamond means an end to a couple of series, with familiarity starting to set in. There’s also the start times being pushed up even in the later afternoon games. Be it a No Run First Inning or a Yes Run First Inning bet, the aim here focuses on which teams are punting with any bullpen starts, or lineups who are due for an offensive turnaround. Six outs is all that’s needed to cash a ticket, so no more sweating through whole games! Here are the best value plays for tonight’s action with the best NRFI bets for Sunday, June 12.
Best NRFI Bets Today: No Run First Inning Picks 6/12
Mets vs. Angels Pick
Sunday Night Baseball features a couple of teams in desperate need of a win, and they will certainly take any first inning victory. The Mets have struggled on the road compared to at home when it comes to scoring in the first, where the Angels are still a top-10 team scoring runs per first inning (RPFI) at home. The pitching matchup will keep the Mets from scoring early, as was the case last night. Patrick Sandoval should prevent the Mets from doing anything in the first inning, but Taijuan Walker won’t do the same for New York. Expect one of the big bats at the top of the Angels lineup — Mike Trout or Shohei Otani — to set the early tone.

Dodgers vs. Giants Pick
The Giants will look to sweep the Dodgers today as they’ve won their previous two games by a combined score of 10-4. Los Angeles is still better on the road, averaging 0.66 RPFI away from home. The Giants splits are even more staggering, going from a 0.28 average RPFI on the road to a 0.69 RPFI average at home. The Dodgers just hit a little better early in games on the road, and this is a hitter-friendly enough park to help their cause. OddsShopper has a total at 8.0 for this game, and it’s worth noting that both Carlos Rodon for the Giants and Julio Urias for the Dodgers are struggling enough to give up an early run.
If this bet seems too risky, fear not! BetMGM is offering free money, and all you need to do is bet $10 to win $200 by betting on Diamondbacks vs. Phillies.

Red Sox vs. Mariners Pick
Seattle is second best in baseball when it comes to scoring first inning runs at home, and they look to take the rubber match in their series versus Boston. The Mariners are averaging over a full run per first inning at 1.04. The Red Sox are fourth overall in MLB in scoring runs on the road with a 0.76 RPFI away from Fenway. This is a great matchup for two teams that are riding hot streaks when it comes to scoring — at home for Seattle, on the road for the Red Sox. Robbie Ray and Tanner Houck are today’s pitchers, and neither will limit opposing batters in the first inning.
