Best NRFI Bets Today – Free NRFI Picks

NRFI Prediction 1: New York Mets at Tampa Bay Rays (-110)

The Mets are dead last in the MLB, averaging .26 runs per first inning, and we will continue to back them in the NRFI market as long as the top of their lineup allows. On the road, this number drops to .25 runs per first inning, and they have a tough matchup against Aaron Civale. Civale is able to rack up strikeouts and does not walk a ton of batters, which is great for NRFI bets.

The Rays offense has been broken all year, but they have done a decent job in the first inning. However, considering this team scored just .44 runs in the first, we still peg them for an NRFI. They are facing Jose Quintana, who has done a good job of not allowing runs in the first inning this season.

NRFI Best Bet Today #2: San Francisco Giants at Philadelphia Phillies (-110)

The Giants are the third-worst team in baseball in the first inning, averaging .28 runs in the first frame. San Francisco is on a 9-1 NRFI streak over its last ten games and a 14-2 streak over its last 16. Tonight, it faces Aaron Nola, who has a .286 xwOBA against San Francisco’s roster in 112 plate appearances.

The Phillies are the best first-inning team in baseball, averaging a full run per first inning. At home, this number is a whopping 1.31 runs per first inning. However, today they face Jordan Hicks, who has a .234 xwOBA against the Phillies in 24 plate appearances. This is coupled with a 33.3% K rate, which is huge for securing an NRFI.
