Best NRFI Bets Today – Free NRFI Picks

NRFI Prediction 1: Baltimore Orioles at Washington Nationals (-110)

The Nationals are at the bottom of the MLB in first-inning production, averaging .26 runs per first inning. We will continue to back them in the NRFI market as long as the top of their lineup allows. At home, this number is better at .31 runs per first inning, but they have a tough matchup against Kyle Bradish.

Mitchell Parker, the rookie, is making his first start against any Oriole. Parker has been great for Washington, and the O’s are coming off a matchup where they had just three total hits in a shutout. Baltimore only averages .43 runs per first inning, and .19 first-inning runs on the road, so this is a great NRFI target.

NRFI Best Bet Today #2: Seattle Mariners at Minnesota Twins (-110)

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. We backed these teams yesterday and will do so again today. The Mariners and the Twins are two of the highest strikeout teams in baseball, which is always good for an NRFI. Minnesota is one of the worst first-inning teams in the MLB, averaging .31 runs in the first frame. They are facing George Kirby, who lights up the strike zone, does not walk batters, and misses bats.

The Mariners are averaging .33 runs in the first frame, but they have been better on the road so far this season. Chris Paddack makes the start for the Twins, and though he has been getting hit hard, he limits walks, which is huge for an NRFI.
