MLB Playoffs No Runs First Inning (NRFI) Odds, Picks & Predictions

Los Angeles Dodgers at San Diego Padres – 8:37 ET

While I am not a huge fan of this bet, the fact that the Braves starter is in flux makes it a bit difficult to write up that bet. So let’s discuss the Padres and Dodgers. Blake Snell had a rough first outing of the 2022 playoffs. The issue for Snell was a common one that he has run into over the course of his career, where his control abandoned him. The Dodgers are an elite offense and are patient enough to wait out Snell and make him work. However, I think he bounces back in this one and can hold the Dodgers down in the first.

Tony Gonsolin takes the mound for the Dodgers in the bottom of the first, and he has had a magical 2022 season. While his numbers are a bit of smoke and mirrors, the ERA estimators still view him as a mid-three ERA pitcher. His wOBA allowed the first time through the order is an elite 0.225, which once again makes him a fantastic bet in this space. While better thus far in the postseason, the Padres’ offense has not been a dominant one across the entire season, and despite the presence of Juan Soto and Manny Machado, they are not an offense that truly scares me. This matchup appears to be a good one for NRFI bets in a limited slate.

Pick: NRFI -150
