Best NRFI Bets Today, Wednesday 6/8 + $200 FREE at BetMGM

There is nothing like a quick cash of a first inning bet to push through the middle of the work week. There are plenty of games to attack tonight on the diamond with value early in the first inning. Be it a No Run First Inning or a Yes Run First Inning bet, the aim tonight is looking at any stud pitchers facing struggling bats, or the opposite at the plate. The best thing about betting a NRFI or YRFI is that it’s a six-out sweat! Here are the top value plays for tonight’s action with the best NRFI bets today.

Best NRFI Bets Today: No Run First Inning Picks 6/8

Diamondbacks vs. Reds Pick

This is not a typo. For the third straight day, Great American Ballpark is the home of the biggest confidence play over this entire series. The Reds are now the best team in baseball in first inning home scoring average, with a monster 1.11 runs per first inning (RPFI) at Great American. Thanks to this series against the Diamondbacks, Cincinnati has overtaken Seattle and the Cubs to lead all of MLB. The only thing that stands in the Reds way of putting up more runs in the first would be Arizona’s Merrill Kelly, who has given up three runs in each of his last five starts. In fact, the D-backs might cash this ticket before the Reds even see a pitch, as Cincinnati sends Mike Minor to the hill, fresh off his first start of the season, where he was hammered for five runs and three long balls.

Yankees vs. Twins Pick

When it comes to scoring runs and factoring in the home and away splits, the Yankees and Twins are in prime positions tonight. The Yankees are stellar early in games on the road, currently tied for second with the Nationals in RPFI on the road with 0.80. Aaron Judge smashes nearly everything he sees, which opens everything else up in that lineup. The Twins are actually first in baseball in road RPFI but are also ninth overall in home RPFI. Basically, the Yankees score a lot of first inning runs on the road and the Twins do the same at home. Nestor Cortes has been outstanding, allowing just one earned run over his past 15 innings. While Cortes could neutralize the Twins top bats, it’s going to be exponentially more difficult for Chris Archer — still looking for his first win of the season — to do the same against Judge and the Yankees.

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 Yankees vs. Twins.

Phillies vs. Brewers Pick

These two teams continue their series in Milwaukee after a rather quiet performance from the bats last night, although Milwaukee did get to the Phillies in the first inning. This is a great chance to catch both teams to go scoreless in the first inning, mostly based off high power expectations around both offenses. Aaron Nola will face the Brewers in the bottom half and look to continue his momentum after mowing down the Braves in his last start. Milwaukee counters with Adrian Houser, who has been shaky at best over his last three starts. The Phillies won’t be able to capitalize on Houser’s recent inconsistencies, as they struggle on the road in the first. Philadelphia sits 23rd in baseball with just a 0.32 RPFI average on the road.
