The Major League Baseball week continues with a full 15-game slate on Tuesday. There are all kinds of options as we try to come up with some successful YRFI/NRFI bets. The Pickswise experts have been on fire with these plays throughout the 2023 campaign (we had another 2-0 performance on Monday) and we’re currently on a 38-18 run, so let’s keep the momentum going!
This 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 MLB YRFI/NRFI bets for Tuesday, and also be sure to check out all of our MLB picks.

Arizona Diamondbacks vs Colorado Rockies: NRFI (-120)
Zac Gallen is taking the mound for Arizona and that is immediate good news for NRFI bettors. Gallen is 6-2 with a 2.97 ERA to go along with 75 strikeouts and only 14 walks in 66.2 innings of work. The right-hander has allowed a first-inning run just twice in 11 starts this season and in 4 of his last 9, he has not given up a single run in any inning. Nobody on the Rockies has ever done any notable damage against Gallen, so you have to feel good about his chances of putting the clamps down on them yet again.
Colorado is countering with Kyle Freeland, who is sporting a 3.24 ERA in the month of May with 21 strikeouts and 6 walks over the course of 25.0 innings. The left-hander faced Arizona earlier this season and delivered a quality start while keeping each of the first 2 frames scoreless. He has not surrendered a first-inning run in 6 of his last 7 outings.

Cleveland Guardians vs Baltimore Orioles: NRFI (-122)
Tuesday night’s showdown between the Guardians and Orioles is getting underway with Baltimore’s Kyle Gibson toeing the rubber. Gibson has delivered for NRFI bettors in 7 of his last 8 starts, and there are plenty of reasons to think he will do the same again today. In his last 2 outings combined (against dangerous lineups in the Yankees and Blue Jays, too), the 35-year-old righty has given up 1 run in 14.0 innings of work. Jose Ramirez is the only Guardian who has had success against Gibson in the past, but Ramirez has gone deep only once in 33 at-bats.
In the bottom of the first Baltimore will be facing Cal Quantrill. The right-hander has made 4 of 5 appearances in May without seeing a runner cross the plate in the opening frame. Only twice in his last 9 starts has he allowed more than 3 runs total. No one on the Orioles has recorded more than 2 hits lifetime off Quantrill.
