When playing on the road the Mets are the worst team scoring in the first inning of any MLB team. <\/p>\n\n\n\n While playing at home the Nationals are middle of the pack in that category. The Mets send out Tylor Megill who hasn\u2019t been the best in the first inning but has only allowed five hits in 21 at-bats to current Nationals hitters. The games the Mets have won this year are due in part to their pitching. <\/p>\n\n\n\n They\u2019re 2-7 in their past nine games with those two wins coming by scores of 1-0 and 2-1 so expect Megill to be on his A-game coming out of the games. Play on a NRFI in this Nationals vs Mets<\/strong> game at -113<\/strong> with first pitch coming around 7:05pm ET.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sonny Gray takes his impressive 4-0 record and 1.35 ERA into his home start tonight taking on Drew Smyly and the Cubs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Gray\u2019s already impressive ERA comes even further down to 0.72 when pitching at home allowing just two runs in 25 innings pitched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Overall he\u2019s allowed a first inning run just once over his seven starts this season. Smyly has been stellar in the first inning as well not allowing a first inning run in five of his last six starts. Both the Cubs and Twins sit in the bottom half of the MLB in runs scored during the first inning overall. <\/p>\n\n\n\n When the Twins play at home their 4th worst in runs scored in the first with the Cubs sitting in the middle of the pack when they\u2019re on the road. Play on a NRFI bet in this Twins vs Cubs matchup at -130<\/strong> with first pitch set for 8:10pm ET.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Join Drew Martin and a rotating panel of guests for First Pitch as we break down the daily baseball slate from a betting perspective every weekday at 1:45pm ET \/ 10:45am PT for First Pitch discussing the MLB betting slate.
