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

It wasn’t hard for the Dodgers to plate two runs last night in the first inning as routed the Angles 9-1. The Dodgers will send another tough arm to the hill tonight in Julio Urias, but his teammates should cash this ticket before he even takes the mound. Adding the two they scored last night, the Dodgers now average .61 runs per first inning (RPFI) on the road. Their LA counterpart surrenders only .44 RPFI to visitors, but the combination of their heavy-hitting opponent going up against Jose Suarez will tilt this towards another early score.

Brewers vs. Giants Pick | Claim $200 FREE at BetMGM

San Francisco is one of the hardest places for road teams to score runs in the first inning. The Giants are tied for second best in baseball giving up just .28 RPFI to visitors. Sending Alex Cobb to face the Brewers on the surface may not be enough, but Milwaukee has failed to take advantage of many early opportunities – averaging just .37 RPFI on the road. This is a perfect balance of a good team that struggles in a smaller area – scoring first inning runs on the road – taking on another good team that excels in keeping opponents off the plate. As a result, the number should be larger than -125 at the book, and is worth a solid look here.

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

The lone miss from yesterday’s column but that has little to do with us going back there tonight. It’s the Tigers continuing their season long trend of being the worst road team in the first inning across baseball. They send Michael Pineda to the stripe with a 3.58 ERA – while it’s a small sample size, he’s kept a clean first inning in both of his road starts this season. That’s always the concern with the Tigers on the road – as their offense averages a miserable .18 RPFI away from home. The Guardians counter with Cal Quantrill who’s seen a first inning score in just three of his nine starts at home.
