The 2025 MLB season is in full swing, and we are back to sweating the best NRFI bets today and offering NRFI betting strategy tips. Which games will have a run scored in the first inning, and which will not?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We are 31-20 with our last 51 NRFI picks<\/strong> so here are today’s best NRFI bets and free NRFI predictions you can make for Monday, August 18, 2025<\/strong>. And, don’t forget, at WagerTalk you can always find the best sports bets today<\/a> updated constantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Baltimore is trying to make the most of their disappointing season as they head into Boston after winning two of three games at Houston over the weekend. <\/p>\n\n\n\n We\u2019re going to play on an Orioles vs Red Sox NRFI tonight with the Orioles sending Trevor Rogers to the mound. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The lefty has been incredible this season sporting a 1.29 ERA in August and 1.43 ERA on the season in 69.1 innings pitched. <\/p>\n\n\n\n He hasn\u2019t allowed a first inning run in all 11 starts with current Red Sox batters posting just a .233 slugging percentage against him life time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Dustin May gets the start for Boston not allowing a first inning run in 13 of 20 starts and Baltimore failing to score in the first inning in their last seven games. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The Orioles haven\u2019t scored in the first inning in 75% of their road games this season so let\u2019s play on an Orioles vs Red Sox NRFI to occur tonight at -125<\/strong> and first pitch at 7:10PM ET.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Rangers and Royals both sit top five in NRFI results this season as they go head-to-head in Kansas City tonight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Jack Leiter gets the start for Texas who was able to snap a four game losing streak yesterday at Toronto. Leiter hasn\u2019t allowed a first inning run in 17 of his 21 starts including five straight and allowed just four earned runs in three August starts thus far (12.2 IP). <\/p>\n\n\n\n Veteran Michael Wacha takes the mound for the Royals against a Rangers team that sits bottom five in team batting average since the all-star break. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Wacha posts a 2.67 home ERA while not allowing a first inning run in 21 of 24 starts on the season. He\u2019s been excellent as of late as well posting a 2.03 ERA in his last 31 innings pitched. <\/p>\n\n\n\n We get excellent odds of +100 for a Rangers vs Royals NRFI<\/strong> to occur today with first pitch slated for 7:40PM ET.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Play Ball!
