A full 15-game Major League Baseball schedule is on the docket for Tuesday, including a mouth-watering matchup between Pittsburgh and Tampa Bay plus a nationally televised showdown on TBS featuring Toronto and Boston. Needless to say, there are plenty of options as we try to come up with some successful YRFI/NRFI bets.
The YRFI/NRFI market has become extremely popular in baseball betting. After all, you don’t have to sit around for 3 hours (or maybe a lot less now that games are not as long on average!) to see if your wager hits; the satisfaction (or in some cases disappointment) is immediate. It all comes down to the first inning.
Here are my best YRFI/NRFI bets for Tuesday, and also be sure to check out all of our MLB picks.

Atlanta Braves vs Miami Marlins: NRFI (-113)
For Miami’s Sandy Alcantara and Atlanta’s Bryce Elder, this will be their second consecutive start against each other. They squared off last Wednesday and pitched to a NRFI. Alcantara will have an even better chance of shutting down the Braves in the opening frame this time around because leadoff hitter Ronald Acuna Jr. will likely be sidelined by the shoulder contusion he suffered during Monday’s doubleheader against the New York Mets. Acuna is the hottest player in Atlanta’s lineup and the only one near the top of the order who has enjoyed any notable success against Alcantara in the past.
Elder ended up getting knocked around a little bit by the Marlins in what ended with a 6-4 Braves victory, but most importantly he held Miami in check in the first inning. Overall this season the right-hander has been outstanding. He is 2-0 with a 2.17 ERA through 5 starts, establishing himself as the fifth pitcher in Atlanta’s rotation at least for the time being. The Marlins’ lineup is nothing special, so all things considered the NRFI looks like a strong play.

Minnesota Twins vs Chicago White Sox: NRFI (+100)
Joe Ryan is taking the mound on Tuesday, which is great news for the Twins and perhaps even better news for NRFI bettors. Ryan is 5-0 with 2.81 ERA and 36 strikeouts compared to only 4 walks through 5 starts spanning 32.0 innings. Just once has he allowed a run in the first inning, and that was to the high-powered New York Yankees. The White Sox are nowhere near as dangerous. Eloy Jimenez has homered once off Ryan in his career, but other than that nobody in the Chicago order has picked up any success in this matchup.
The Sox are countering with Michael Kopech, who hasn’t been stellar so far in 2023 but on the bright side has surrendered a run in the opening frame on just 1 occasion. He should be able to hold the Twins scoreless through at least 3 outs, as well. The top 4 batters in Minnesota’s lineup are a combined 5-for-29 lifetime against Kopech. At plus-money (albeit right on the number), the NRFI has awesome value.
