š° Best NRFI bets today for Friday
Royals vs. Mariners NRFI (-165) - 9:45 p.m. ET
- Cole Ragans (5.00 ERA) vs. Bryan Woo (3.86 ERA)
- NRFI records: Royals (21-10) vs. Mariners (13-19)
If you've been following this hot streak I've been on, I've never seen a Woo start I don't like as part of our best NRFI bets today. It gets even better knowing the Royals hit a measly .143 against him and that our NRFI ace has allowed just one run in the opening frame all year. Lock him in for three outs. On the other side, while Ragsans hasn't had the best start to his season, he's limited the Mariners' bats to a .230 xBA across 40 lifetime plate appearances. That'll play for us.

š” How I'm betting NRFI picks today (May 1)
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.,
