Top MLB No Runs First Inning (NRFI) Picks & Odds: Brewers vs. Dodgers

Perhaps the best pitching matchup on the slate, Tony Gonsolin has been one of the best pitchers in the National League. In addition, he’s been one of the best NRFI pitchers in the league. Through 22 starts, Gonsolin holds a 0.82 ERA and a 0.82 WHIP in the first inning. As for his matchup, the Brewers are 19th in first inning runs per game at home. Also, Gonsolin dominated the Brewers’ two starts ago. He threw seven shutout innings and only allowed two hits. He should pick up right where he left off tonight.

The bottom of the first will be tasked to Corbin Burnes. Burnes has been as steady as ever. He enters this outing with a 2.48 ERA and 0.93 WHIP. One wrinkle for Burnes is that the Dodgers are the best lineup when it comes to scoring in the first inning. Although, Burnes is the perfect counter to their vaunted lineup. In 24 starts, he has a 0.75 ERA and a 0.67 WHIP in the first inning this season. Burnes is perhaps the safest bet when it comes to NFRI starters.

Pick: NRFI -155

What are Player Props?
Player props refer to wagers that bettors can make based on player performance in a specific game. The majority of player props are built around the most common statistical benchmarks for a specific sport such as yards and touchdowns in football. Most player props are straight over/under plays that open at or near -110 and are adjusted based on where the money lands.
