Top 4 MLB No Runs First Inning (NRFI) Odds & Picks for Monday, July 4 (2022)

Jul 4, 2022 - 10:50 AM

No Runs First Inning (NRFI) and Yes Runs First Inning (YRFI) MLB bets are great ways to jump into baseball betting. You don’t have to know a ton about baseball to make these bets. If you place a NRFI bet and the teams are held scoreless through one frame, you win! On the flip side, if you place a YRFI bet and a player crosses the plate, you win! Let’s take a look at the top NRFI and YRFI odds for today.

MLB No Runs First Inning (NRFI) Odds & Matchups

Today they send Dean Kremer (2-1, 1.29) to the mound, and he has allowed just one earned run in the last 23.2 innings. That is an incredible feat for a young pitcher, especially since three of the four starts covering that span were on the road.

Texas’ Dane Dunning (1-6, 4.09) is 0-5 with a 5.58 ERA in eight road starts, so we do not expect him to be able to match zeros with Kremer.

Bet: Rangers v. Orioles YRFI (-110 BetRivers)

 

The bats might need to stay hot with Braxton Garrett on the mound. He’s currently 1-3 with a 5.24 ERA and is in the 30th percentile or lower in xBA, xERA, hard-hit percentage, and wOBA. He’s changed up his pitching style this year by throwing the slider more, but it’s not getting positive results as he’s lost two inches off his average drop, and he went from a run value of -1 with the pitch to +3.

On the other side is Patrick Corbin. It might be mean to pick on him for every start, but it’s hard not to take advantage of his struggles. Amongst qualified starters, he has the highest ERA (6.06), WHIP (1.70), hits allowed (109), and is only one of two players with ten or more losses this year.

We have two struggling pitchers, and in this series, we’ve seen eight or more total runs in the three previous games. They’ll be setting off fireworks early in the nation’s capital.

There’s a ton of raw talent with Reds SP Hunter Greene, but he’s going through growing pains. He has a fastball that can eclipse 100 MPH, but he keeps it primarily in the middle of the plate. It doesn’t matter how fast you throw, if you keep it in the zone, hitters will adjust, and it shows as they are batting .333 and a .710 slugging percentage off it.

The Mets aren’t a power-hitting team, but they’re one of the best at making contact as they’re second in OBP (.327) and fifth in BABIP (.300). Greene will provide the firepower, and the Mets will use it to make the balls fly like Roman Candles.

Cole Irvin will take the mound for the A’s, but he’s been struggling with a 4.81 ERA in his last four starts after a good beginning to the season with a 3.00 ERA in his first nine. He could be in for another rough day as the Blue Jays are batting .318 against Irvin in 38 at-bats and are sixth in average (.266) and fourth in OPS (.759) against left-handers on the road this year.

Bet: Blue Jays v. Athletics YRFI (+120 BetMGM)
