Top MLB No Runs First Inning (NRFI) Picks & Odds: Rays vs. Brewers
Tampa Bay Rays vs. Milwaukee Brewers 2:10 pm ET
We’ll kick things off with an afternoon matchup as Brandon Woodruff is set to face off against Jeffrey Springs. Woodruff has been phenomenal since mid-May as he’s not allowed more than three runs in 11 straight starts. He’s also been excellent in the first inning as he has a 2.25 ERA and 1.00 WHIP through 16 starts. Woodruff has also struck out 28 percent of the batters he faced in the first inning. He should be the perfect guy to silence a Rays offense that ranks eighth in first-inning runs per game.
As for the bottom half of the inning, Jeffery Springs will be tasked with putting up a zero against a Brewers lineup that will have a significant splits edge. However, there’s no indication that will impact him as he’s been much better against righties than lefties this season. He will likely face one lefty in Christian Yelich, but regardless of how the top of the order is configured, I like Springs chances here. In 14 starts, he has a 2.57 ERA and 0.93 WHIP in the first inning. Just like his counterpart, he’s well armed against another lineup that gets off to fast starts.
Pick: NFRI -135
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.
