Top MLB No Runs First Inning (NRFI) Picks & Odds: Angels vs. Marlins

This very well may be the best pitching matchup on the board as NL Cy Young candidate Sandy Alcantara and the Marlins will host Noah Syndergaard and the Angels. There is no hyperbole when it comes to Alcantara’s dominance this season. He’ll put his 1.95 ERA and 0.95 WHIP on the line against the 10th-best first-inning offense in the majors. While the top of the Angels’ order is daunting, they should be just as scared of Alcantara. He’s in the top 15 percent of the majors in every expected statistic and has a three-pitch mix where every pitch sits above 90 mph. With the Angels leading the league in strikeout rate, the Marlins ace is in a fantastic spot to put up a zero in the top of the first.

As for the bottom half, that duty will be in the hands of Noah Syndergaard. The former Mets fireballer came over to the Angels on a one-year prove-it deal, showing that he can still be highly effective even with a drop in velocity. Syndergaard has gone from an overpowering fastball pitcher to a crafty sinkerballer. He’s in the top 25 percent of all qualified pitchers in average exit velocity and hard-hit rate. We’ll see him feature a four-pitch arsenal built to generate ground balls. A ground ball pitcher and the second-worst first-inning offense in the majors sounds like an excellent recipe for a quiet bottom of the first.

Pick: NRFI -134
