Top MLB No Runs First Inning (NRFI) Picks & Odds: Mets vs. Braves
New York Mets vs. Atlanta Braves – 7:20 pm ET
The Mets and the Braves are set to kick off another pivotal series as both teams are gunning for an NL East crown. Rookie phenom Spencer Strider will get the ball for Atlanta, and he should have much more luck in the first inning tonight compared to his last outing. Strider has used his overpowering stuff to be dominant in the first inning. He has a 2.08 ERA, a 0.77 WHIP, and a 47 percent strikeout rate through 13 starts. The Mets score quite a bit in the first inning, but most of their early scoring comes at home. They average 0.4 fewer runs per game on the road.
Being tasked with the bottom of the first is Carlos Carrasco. Now Carrasco’s first inning numbers may not look good, but they are inflated from a few bat outings earlier in the season. He has not allowed more than three runs in seven straight starts. For all of Atlanta’s firepower, they are only 17th in first-inning runs per game, and that ranking drops to 22md when they are at home. So expect these two to post matching zeroes early on.
Pick: NRFI -103
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.
