Top MLB No Runs First Inning (NRFI) Picks & Odds: Giants vs. Tigers
This matchup checks all the boxes when you are looking for an NRFI. Drew Hutchison will get us going in the top of the first as he’s made a nice transition into the rotation this season. Hutchison spent the majority of the season as a reliever, where we saw him perform consistently in one-inning appearances. However, he’s had some issues settling down in the first, but his matchup should give him a great chance to put up a zero. The Giants enter this matchup 25th in first-inning runs per game. Although, they are even slower starters on the road as their ranking drops to 26th.
As for the other half of this matchup, we get Carlos Rodon against one of the worst lineups in the Majors. Rodon has been one of the best left-handers in the league this year. He’ll enter this start with a 2.89 ERA and 1.05 WHIP. His dominance has started early as, through 24 starts, he has a 3.00 ERA and 0.96 WHIP. As for the Tigers, they are 27th in first-inning runs per game. Along with that, they also have the fourth highest strikeout rate in the Majors and the 27th lowest team batting average. Rodon should overpower them.
Pick: NRFI -155
