When betting on baseball, few props offer the quick thrill and strategic nuance of the MLB No Runs First Inning (NRFI) wager. It’s a bet that’s over in six outs - or sooner if things go sideways - and it hinges on a delicate mix of strong pitching, quiet bats and a bit of early-inning luck. Below are our top MLB NRFI picks for Friday, June 6th.

Sticking with the same trend as the Marlins-Rays with this one - two teams that struggle to get going early with sub .235 batting averages and 75% or better NRFI hit rates. The pitchers are a bit better in the first inning, with Colton Gordon having a 3-1 NRFI record and Logan Allen at 8-2.
