š° Best NRFI bets today for Tuesday
Rays vs. Guardians NRFI (-125) - 6:10 p.m. ET
- Nick Martinez (2.10 ERA) vs. Tanner Bibee (4.45 ERA)
- NRFI records: Rays (15-13) vs. Guardians (17-13)
Bibee has allowed a run in the first frame just once this year, and historically owns the Rays in his career, limiting them to a .257 xwOBA across 54 plate appearances. Generating a 24.3 whiff percentage over that sample size, we should be good for three outs from the right-hander. On the other side, Martinez has looked just as good against the Guardians, with Jose Ramirez a career 0-for-5 against him. Fire this up as part of our best NRFI bets today.

- Payton Tolle (1.50 ERA) vs. Trey Yesavage (0.00 ERA)
- NRFI records: Mariners (10-19) vs. Twins (15-13)
We've got two of the liveliest young arms in baseball going head-to-head, which in itself gives me enough confidence to fire this baby up as part of my best NRFI bets today. Tolle is coming off a magnificent six-inning, three-hit, one-run gem against the Yankees, while Yesavage just finished putting together the best rookie postseason performance we've ever seen. This will play tonight.

š” How I'm betting NRFI picks today (April 28)
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.,
