📡 SBR Edge: Best NRFI Bets Today for Wednesday (April 15)
After going 1-1 last night, it's time to get back to sweeping the board on this fine Wednesday. We're targeting the Blue Jays vs. Brewers and Mets vs. Dodgers to get us six simple outs. All four pitchers tonight limit their respective lineups to a .185 xBA or better in their specific matchups, which will be enough to get us across the finish line with a couple of zeroes.

š° Best NRFI bets today for Wednesday
Blue Jays vs. Brewers NRFI (-155) - 7:40 p.m. ET
- Dylan Cease (2.46 ERA) vs. Chad Patrick (0.73 ERA)
- NRFI records: Blue Jays (8-8) vs. Brewers (7-9)
We've got two exceptionally hot pitchers going head to head against lineups they feast against. The Brewers own just a .186 xBA vs. Cease, who's held William Contreras and Gary Sanchez to a combined 1-for-13 in his career. On the other side is Patrick - the right-hander is having an incredible start to his season, allowing just one earned run across 12.1 innings.
We're dropping two units on our play of the day after hitting yesterday, just the third time this season we've done so. I'd price this bet closer to -190 betting odds.

Mets vs. Dodgers NRFI (-125) - 10:10 p.m. ET
- Clay Holmes (1.50 ERA) vs. Shohei Ohtani (0.00 ERA)
- NRFI records: Mets (7-11) vs. Dodgers (9-8)
We've got a nightcap NRFI that just feels right between Holmes and Ohtani. The Mets righty holds the vaunted Dodgers lineup under a .200 xBA, including a 2-for-14 showing from Freddie Freeman, Ohtani, and Kyle Tucker combined. On the other side is the Los Angeles ace, who hasn't allowed a run all season, and isn't going to start against the Mets' cold bats. New York has scored just one run in the last 29 innings. It's been bad. Book 'em for three outs.

š” How I'm betting NRFI picks today (April 15)
Follow all of our MLB analysis and expert predictions for baseball season.
No matter the day, I look at how a pitcher matches up specifically to the lineup he's taking on. What's their expected batting average against him? What's their strikeout rate? What's each team's NRFI record? More specifically, how do the top three batters fare against a specific pitcher? These are all thoughts that need to run through your mind before placing a high-variance bet like a NRFI, and slide your units accordingly.
ā NRFI betting FAQ
What does NRFI mean in baseball betting?
NRFI stands for "No Run First Inning." It's a popular MLB bet that neither team will score in the first inning of a game, and the bet settles after just six outs (three per half-inning).
What does YRFI mean?
YRFI stands for "Yes Run First Inning" - the opposite of an NRFI. This MLB prop bet cashes if there's at least one run by either team in the first inning.
What should I look for when betting NRFIs?
Each team's starting pitcher is the biggest factor in cashing a NRFI bet, but you should also focus on each team's NRFI records (home vs. away) and each lineup's first-inning tendencies. Recent form can also play a bigger role than full-season numbers.,
