MLB No Runs First Inning (NRFI) Odds, Picks & Predictions: Diamondbacks vs. Dodgers
The Diamondbacks go for a series win tonight in Los Angeles as they’ve split the first four games of their five-game set with the Dodgers. We have a fantastic pitching matchup between two of the top three Cy Young favorites in Zac Gallen (+1300) and Julio Urias (+750). The first pitch for the finale is slated for 10:10 p.m. ET from Dodger Stadium.
Gallen has been crushing it down the stretch and comes into tonight’s divisional clash at 12-3 with a 2.52 ERA (10th) and 0.92 WHIP (3rd) over 28 total starts. The right-hander last threw on Saturday against the Padres and went 5.1 innings, allowing just two earned runs on four hits and a trio of walks. Gallen took the loss in a 2-0 defeat, and the Snakes are now 9-2 in his last 11 outings.
Urias has really stepped up in the absence of some of the big guns in Los Angeles’ rotation this year. The southpaw is 17-7 on the season with a 2.27 ERA (3rd) and 0.95 WHIP (5th) over 28 starts. Most recently, Urias pitched against the Giants and held them to two runs (one earned) on five hits and a walk over 6.0 innings. He earned the win, and the Dodgers have now won his last four starts.
Both of these starters have their best stuff right now, and I expect for them to bring it again tonight in L.A. Gallen has only made one start against the Dodgers this year, and he dominated them, going 6.0 scoreless frames and giving up just two hits. As for Urias, he’s in the same boat and actually started in the same game as Gallen back in April. The lefty lasted 6.0 innings and allowed just one earned run on a single hit and two walks. Let’s hope for another pitcher’s duel tonight and roll with NRFI.
