MLB Wild Card No Runs First Inning (NRFI) Picks & Predictions: Padres vs. Mets (10/7)

San Diego Padres at New York Mets – 8:07 ET

New York is sending Max Scherzer out to the mound in an attempt to save Jacob deGrom for the next round. Obviously, Scherzer is no slouch in his own right. He succeeds on many strikeouts and very few walks, a perfect combination for the postseason. Over the last thirty days, the Padres have been a bottom-ten offense by runs scored. Additionally, Scherzer has allowed a 0.222 wOBA the first time through the order in 2022, which is exactly what we want to see in an NRFI bet.

Yu Darvish will be pitching for the Padres. He has had a really good 2022 season despite a drop in K-rate compared to his career, mostly on the back of walk rate improvements. In the last thirty days, the Mets have actually scored the third most runs in baseball, despite what many of their fans might be feeling. However, it definitely seems like the Mets’ offense has come up small when it mattered most, and their lack of power is a concern for the playoffs. As a result, I think Darvish can easily have a clean first inning and allow this bet to hit.
