With plenty of MLB games taking place each day, one of the quickest bets you can make is if a run will be scored in the first inning. There is value to be had and this market has become very popular over time. If you don’t like sweating out your bets for 3 hours, this one will only take about 15 minutes. We’re on 31-11 run with our YRFI/NRFI picks, so let’s keep the momentum going!

Baltimore Orioles vs New York Yankees: NRFI (-110)
At this point in the season, Gerrit Cole is pitching at a Cy Young — and potentially an MVP level. Cole is leading a Yankees rotation that has undergone a lot of changes and hiccups due to injury issues and inconsistency. And to his credit, Cole has been excellent from his first start, posting an ERA of 2.01 and 8 of his 10 outings have been graded as quality starts. Even with his expected numbers expecting some regression, Cole should get out to a quick start against an Orioles team he has typically dominated over the years. On the other side, Kyle Bradish has been up-and-down but is coming off his 2 best starts of the season — allowing 1 ER over his last 13 IP — so there’s reason for optimism in this one. I’ll back the NRFI at this price.
Los Angeles Dodgers vs Atlanta Braves: NRFI (-110)
Tuesday marks the debut for Dodgers prospect Bobby Miller, who is said to have the best stuff among the minor league pitchers for Los Angeles. With a fastball that can reach 100mph along with a devastating slider, sinker, changeup and curveball, the 1st round draft pick in 2020 has a high ceiling that can translate to success at the MLB level. He should get off to a solid start in his opening frame against a Braves lineup that won’t have much tape on Miller. On the other side, Spencer Strider is one of the best pitchers in baseball who continues to pitch at an extremely high level. With an xERA of 2.70 and sitting in the top 10 percentile of all qualified pitchers in xwOBA, xBA and strikeout rate, Strider is dealing and should get away quickly against the Dodgers in this one.
