Marlins vs. Mets Pick | Claim $200 FREE at BetMGM

No team in baseball scores more runs per first inning (RPFI) at home than the Mets with a .90 average. Despite destroying the Marlins 10-0 last night, the Mets still failed to register a run in the first, expect that to change tonight. The Marlins are easier to score against on the road, as they give up .61 RPFI on the road this year. They will start Pablo Lopez against the Mets, while New York counters with Chris Bassitt and his 4.01 ERA. Both teams stand to have legit scoring opportunities early in this game.

Guardians vs. Royals Pick | Claim $200 FREE at BetMGM

The Royals are one of baseball’s worst teams in giving up runs in the first inning. They surrender an average of .62 RPFI to visiting opponents, while Cleveland gives up .41 RPFI to opponents on the road. The pitching matchup should help the bats, as Aaron Civale enters tonight’s game with an ERA over 7.00 and Brady Singer has struggled on his own. The Royals normally don’t score much in the first inning at home with just a .38 average, but they are averaging 1.33 RPFI over their last three games, and Civale should be in line to offer some key early scoring positions.

Phillies vs. Cardinals Pick | Claim $200 FREE at BetMGM

Unlike the previous game, the pitching matchup tonight in St. Louis should dictate a scoreless first inning. Zack Wheeler gets the nod for the Phillies, as he has settled in nicely this year, holding opponents with an ERA now 2.66 on the year. Adam Wainwright has been equally impressive from an ERA standpoint as he makes a home start for a Cardinals team averaging .78 RPFI at home. The Phillies give up jut .42 RPFI on the road, and Wheeler has a great matchup with the top part of the Cards lineup. Without Bryce Harper, the Phillies have struggled through the first time or two through the lineup, which should aid Wainwright’s first inning.
