Best NRFI Bets Today: No Run First Inning Picks 7/2

Diamondbacks vs. Rockies Pick | Claim $200 FREE at BetMGM

There are a couple of parks to attack tonight from a YRFI standpoint but it’s hard to start without mentioning Coors Field, especially this matchup. The Rockies have crossed the plate in the first inning at home on an average of .71 runs per first inning (RPFI), tied for sixth best in baseball. They give up a decent amount early in games, allowing .48 RPFI to visiting opponents, tied for 11th worst in baseball. There’s a clear pathway to a first-inning score based on recent team trend and their park. Adding Arizona to the mix only increases the chance, as the D-Backs give up .67 RPFI on the road. The average ERA between Dallas Keuchel and Austin Gomber is 7.25, with neither below 6.50. Yes, there will be a run in the first inning.

Red Sox vs. Cubs Pick | Claim $200 FREE at BetMGM

Boston is one of the worst teams in MLB when it comes to RPFI at home, so it’s a relief to hit the road in most cases. This is one of those cases, as the Cubs and Wrigley Field present early scoring opportunities. Chicago scores .91 RPFI at home, second to only the Reds across baseball, but could make it difficult for the Red Sox, as Chicago gives up just .33 RPFI to opponents. This is where the Boston bats come into play, as they average .63 RPFI on the road — fourth best in MLB. The split between Yes and No run first inning is slim because of how well the Cubs have limited opponents in the opening frame, but they have an Alec Mills problem, as he has been absolutely blasted over each of his past three starts. The ones before that weren’t great either.

Padres vs. Dodgers Pick | Claim $200 FREE at BetMGM

Sometimes it’s as easy as playing the pitchers, and tonight’s matchup in Los Angeles is screaming for it. Two of the better arms in baseball aim to keep a clean sheet through the first inning, as Yu Darvish and Tyler Anderson feature Saturday’s true pitcher’s duel. Darvish has done that in all but two of his seven road starts this year, including four straight games holding teams scoreless through the first. Anderson has held opposing hitters scoreless through the first in four of his six starts at home. To make matters harder, the Padres are fifth worst in baseball scoring just .29 RPFI on the road.
