š° Best NRFI bets today for Thursday
Blue Jays vs. Twins NRFI (-142) - 7:40 p.m. ET
- Kevin Gausman (2.57 ERA) vs. Bailey Ober (3.94 ERA)
- NRFI records: Blue Jays (15-15) vs. Twins (18-13)
We're seeing a large sample size for both pitchers, which we genuinely love if you've been following. Gausman has dominated this Twins lineup, striking them out at a 25% clip, including leadoff hitter Byron Buxton, who's 1-for-10 against him. On the other side, the Blue Jays are hitting just .191 against Ober across 100 plate appearances, with Vladdy Jr. hitting a paltry 1-for-11. That'll play as part of our best NRFI bets today.

š” How I'm betting NRFI picks today (April 30)
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.,
