š° Best NRFI bets today for Wednesday
Mariners vs. Twins NRFI (-135) - 1:40 p.m. ET
- George Kirby (2.98 ERA) vs. Taj Bradley (2.91 ERA)
- NRFI records: Mariners (12-19) vs. Twins (17-13)
We've got a matinee on our hands between two live arms. Across 47 plate appearances, Kirby has limited the Twins to a .234 xBA while striking them out at a 27.7% clip. We just have to clear Josh Bell, who's 4-for-7 lifetime against the Mariners ace. On the other side, Bradley is having a phenomenal season, and had allowed just four earned runs across 17.1 innings prior to the Rays lighting him up. Expect him to bounce back this afternoon.

Giants vs. Phillies NRFI (-165) - 6:40 p.m. ET
- Logan Webb (4.87 ERA) vs. Cristopher Sanchez (2.94 ERA)
- NRFI records: Giants (19-10) vs. Phillies (12-17)
Two of the best arms in baseball going head-to-head? We'll take that tonight. The Phillies are hitting just .194 against the Giants' ace across 68 plate appearances, with Trea Turner and Kyle Schwarber going 5-for-25 lifetime against him.
Sanchez toes the rubber for Philly, and he should have no problem dispatching San Francisco's leadoff hitter at the very least - Luis Arraez is 1-for-15 against him lifetime, giving us all the confidence in the world for three simple outs here. Let's sweep the board one more time.

š” How I'm betting NRFI picks today (April 29)
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.,
