Reds vs. Braves MLB No Runs First Inning NRFI (Thursday)

by |

Welcome back to another day of sports betting as the MLB season continues, and we can make some No Runs First Inning bets. NRFI is a popular betting market where gamblers wager on whether the first inning of an MLB game will end with zero runs scored by either team. Pretty simple.  NRFI bets are the best because they're quick - sometimes you'll know the outcome within minutes. NRFI bets can provide an edge over other markets if you’ve done your research. I'm here to help provide that edge. As always, shop around for the best odds and be on the lookout for lineup announcements, which can change a lot. Here’s our top NRFI pick for Reds vs. Braves.

Thursday's Best MLB No Runs First Inning (NRFI) Picks: Reds vs. Braves

Last Time: 1-1 | Season: 8-4 | All odds via DraftKings Sportsbook

Reds vs. Braves

Starting Pitchers: Nick Lodolo vs. Spencer Schwellenbach

The Reds-Braves game is another contest that lines up with solid splits. Nick Lodolo has been elite on the road this year with a 1.07 ERA over his four starts. In his seven starts, he's had solid opening frame stats with a .167 opponent batting average. Spencer Schwellenbach has been even better, allowing just one run in seven starts with just four hits allowed.

The top of the Cincinnati order has struggled in its short history against Schwellenbach and Atlanta's hitters haven't fared as well on the other side. The Braves’ offense ranks 22nd in first-inning runs scored this year. While they are due for positive regression, I don't expect that to happen on Thursday.

Pick: NRFI (-130)
