Best Bets Today in Baseball
If you’re not a fan of waiting through an entire baseball game for your bet to pay off, then the YRFI/NRFI market might just become your new favorite betting strategy. All it takes is about 10 to 15 minutes of your time to watch the first inning, and you can forget about the remaining eight. With all 30 teams in action today, spanning from Tampa to Los Angeles with the Dodgers, let’s dive right into it. Don’t forget to also explore our MLB predictions for the side and total of every game today.
MLB Pick_Seattle Mariners vs. Texas Rangers: NRFI (+100)
The oddsmakers are anticipating a high-scoring matchup between the Mariners and the Rangers, but I’m going against the grain by picking a scoreless first inning at Globe Life Field. Bryan Woo takes the mound for the Mariners, and while he struggled in his Major League debut against this Rangers lineup, allowing 6 earned runs, he has shown significant improvement since. Woo now boasts a 3.32 ERA over his last 15 starts and has gone scoreless in his last 10.2 innings.
On the Rangers’ side, 33-year-old veteran Nathan Eovaldi will be on the mound. Eovaldi carries a 3.05 ERA through 23 starts and previously tossed a 6.0-inning shutout against the Mariners. Eovaldi’s prior success against Seattle combined with their offensive struggles in their recent games make me confident that we’ll see a quiet first inning. Additionally, J.P. Crawford and Julio Rodriguez, key Mariners hitters, have struggled against Eovaldi, further supporting the NRFI bet.
MLB Pick_New York Mets vs. Philadelphia Phillies: YRFI (-125)
In this matchup at Citizens Bank Park, where the Phillies are aiming for a sweep of the New York Mets, I’m predicting some early runs in the first inning. This series has generally been high-scoring, with the game total going over in 2 of the 3 games so far, resulting in a combined 30 runs. I expect a similar outcome today.
Jose Butto takes the mound for the Mets, and while he possesses a respectable 3.09 ERA, his high walk rate and propensity for issuing walks (14.0%) raise concerns. Facing Kyle Schwarber, Bryce Harper, and Alec Bohm, who have all demonstrated power recently, could be problematic for Butto.
The Phillies counter with left-hander Cristopher Sanchez, who has been a consistent presence in the Phillies’ rotation since his call-up in mid-June. While Sanchez generally stays around the strike zone, it could lead to more aggressive at-bats from the top of the lineup. Sanchez has struggled in the first inning this season, posting a .784 OPS, the second-highest among all innings. With Pete Alonso’s success against Sanchez and the Mets’ strong batting lineup, early runs are likely.
