Top MLB No Runs First Inning (NRFI) Picks & Odds: Mariners vs. Athletics
The Mariners look to break out the brooms against the Athletics this afternoon as they send Robbie Ray to the bump. The A’s will try to salvage a game in the series, and they’ll be relying on Frankie Montas to get them back in the win column. The first pitch is scheduled for 3:37 p.m. ET from Oakland Coliseum in this A.L. West showdown.
Ray may finally be putting it all together for the Mariners. The left-hander has only allowed one earned run over his last two starts (14.0 IP), and he’s struck out 14 batters over that span. Ray enters with a 6-6 record with a 4.25 ERA and 1.19 WHIP over 14 starts in 2022. He recently limited the Angels to one earned run on three hits and a walk over 7.0 innings of work.
Montas continues to keep his trade value high as he enters with a 3.53 ERA and 1.14 WHIP over 14 starts. The right-hander was touched up for three earned runs on 10 hits and three walks over 5.0 innings against the Royals last time.
This is the juiciest play (-162) on the NRFI board, and rightfully so. These are two of the bigger names in starting pitching, and they’ve been throwing relatively well this season. Ray gets to face literally the worst offense in baseball today as Oakland enters ranked dead last in both team batting average (.209) and OPS (.600). Look for him to carve up the Athletics this afternoon. As for Montas, he’ll be squaring off against a bottom-third offense as well. The M’s are 23rd in batting average (.235) and 19th in OPS (.703). I’m expecting a clean first frame in this one.
