š° Best NRFI bets today for Wednesday
Braves vs. Mariners NRFI (-110) - 4:10 p.m. ET
- Martin Perez (2.22 ERA) vs. Bryan Woo (4.61 ERA)
- NRFI records: Braves (14-23) vs. Mariners (15-22)
Well, our cash cow Mr. Woo has been anything but that this year. However, we're not ready to move on from our boy just yet. Woo has been dynamite against the Braves, striking them out at a 30% clip over the course of his career. The righty has allowed 13 earned runs over his last two starts - we're buying a bounce-back today. Perez has a huge sample size against the Mariners on the other side. Across 84 plate appearances, Seattle is hitting just .227 against him. Let's fire this up as part of our best NRFI bets today.

Red Sox vs. Tigers NRFI (-110) - 6:40 p.m. ET
- Sonny Gray (4.30 ERA) vs. Jack Flaherty (5.90 ERA)
- NRFI records: Red Sox (20-16) vs. Tigers (21-16)
We've got two pitchers with huge sample sizes against these lineups - we love to see it. On one side, Gray has limited this Tigers lineup to a .252 xwOBA over 64 plate appearances while striking them out at a 37% clip - that'll play. On the other side, the projected top four hitters are just 10-for-49 against Flaherty, giving me all the confidence in the world we can cash this NRFI.

š” How I'm betting NRFI picks today (May 6)
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.,
