| 23.8% | K% | 24.4% |
| 5.5% | BB% | 8.4% |
| 1.06 | WHIP | 1.18 |
| 0.65 | HR/9 | 0.54 |
The MLB odds for the NRFI and YRFI in tonight’s game between the Braves and Phillies are evenly matched at DraftKings, with both listed at -115. This implies a probability of approximately 53.5% for either outcome, indicating a tight expectation for the first inning.
Reynaldo López of the Braves showcases a 1.18 WHIP, 24.4 K%, and a 0.54 HR/9, alongside a 19-2 NRFI/YRFI record, indicating strong performance in preventing early runs. Ranger Suárez of the Phillies counters with a 1.06 WHIP, 23.8 K%, and a 0.65 HR/9, with a 15-6 NRFI/YRFI record, highlighting his capability in early innings.
Jorge Soler and Marcell Ozuna are key RHB power threats for the Braves, with Ozuna boasting a .299 ISO against LHP, indicating potential for high-value hits. Whit Merrifield and Soler show strong on-base capabilities with wOBAs of .301 and .316, respectively, against left-hand pitchers, which could challenge Suárez’s control and contribute to favorable MLB odds for early scoring. The Phillies’ left-handed hitters, Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper, present a significant challenge for López with wOBAs of .413 and .394 against RHP. Their high strikeout rates are countered by impressive power metrics (ISO of .195 and .235), suggesting they can capitalize on López’s 1.18 WHIP and .54 HR/9.
Reynaldo López and Ranger Suárez have been excellent in not allowing runs in the first inning this season. López has a NRFI record of 19-2, while Suárez is 15-6. The Braves and Phillies both have strong lineups to start the game, but both starting pitchers tonight will follow the pattern they have this season in keeping runs off the board in the first inning.

Cardinals vs Yankees NRFI/YRFI
| Marcus Stroman (R) (NYY) | Stat | Erick Fedde (R) (STL) |
|---|---|---|
| 16-9 | NRFI/YRFI Record | 20-6 |
| 16.3% | K% | 20.4% |
| 9.6% | BB% | 7.1% |
| 1.39 | WHIP | 1.17 |
| 1.22 | HR/9 | 1.15 |
For tonight’s game between the Cardinals and Yankees, DraftKings SportsBook lists the odds for NRFI at -105 and YRFI at -125. These odds translate to implied probabilities, with the NRFI having a 51.2% chance of occurring and the YRFI a 55.6% chance.
Erick Fedde for the Cardinals shows a balanced season with a WHIP of 1.17, K% of 20.4, BB% of 7.1, and HR/9 of 1.15, alongside a NRFI/YRFI Record of 20-6. Marcus Stroman of the Yankees counters with a WHIP of 1.39, K% of 16.3, BB% of 9.6, and HR/9 of 1.22, holding a NRFI/YRFI Record of 16-9.
The Cardinals show potential against right-hand pitchers, with Alec Burleson and Brendan Donovan highlighting the lineup. Burleson’s .365 wOBA and .209 ISO, along with Donovan’s .327 wOBA, suggest they can capitalize on Fedde’s pitching. Masyn Winn and Nolan Arenado add depth, despite slightly lower wOBAs, their ability to make contact could be crucial. Yankees’ power hitters like Juan Soto and Aaron Judge are key against right-hand pitchers. Soto’s impressive .434 wOBA and .305 ISO, combined with Judge’s monstrous .480 wOBA and .381 ISO, indicate potential for high scoring. Gleyber Torres and Austin Wells provide solid support, making the Yankees lineup formidable.
Any starting pitcher’s nightmare in the first inning at home is the Yankees hitters. That includes Erick Fedde, who has an NRFI record of 20-6. And that’s before New York comes to bat in the bottom of the inning. Marus Stroman has been inconsistent, so it’s possible St. Louis will start the scoring at the top of the inning. If the Cardinals don’t, the Yankees will tonight.

Orioles vs Rockies NRFI/YRFI
| Austin Gomber (L) (COL) | Stat | Albert Suárez (R) (BAL) |
|---|---|---|
| 13-2 | NRFI/YRFI Record | 15-3 |
| 16.5% | K% | 18.2% |
| 5.9% | BB% | 7.9% |
| 1.29 | WHIP | 1.27 |
| 1.70 | HR/9 | 0.71 |
Tonight’s game between the Baltimore Orioles and Colorado Rockies features pitchers Albert Suárez (NRFI/YRFI Record: 15-3) for the Orioles and Austin Gomber (NRFI/YRFI Record: 13-12) for the Rockies. NRFI odds are set at +110, while YRFI odds are at -150, according to DraftKings. These odds suggest a preference towards a YRFI outcome at -150, implying a 60% probability. Conversely, the NRFI is +110, translating to a 47.62% chance.
Albert Suárez of the Orioles showcases a WHIP of 1.27, a K% of 18.2, and a BB% of 7.9, with a HR/9 rate of 0.71. Suárez holds a NRFI/YRFI Record of 15-3, indicating strong early-game performance. Against right-hand hitters, his WHIP improves to 1.15, reflecting better control and efficiency.
Austin Gomber for the Rockies presents a WHIP of 1.29, a K% of 16.5, and a BB% of 5.9, alongside a HR/9 of 1.70. Gomber’s NRFI/YRFI Record stands at 13-12, suggesting variability in early innings. His performance against left-hand hitters shows a lower WHIP of 1.04, highlighting effectiveness in specific matchups.
The Orioles show promising numbers against left-hand pitchers, with Gunnar Henderson leading the charge with a .393 wOBA and a .276 ISO, indicating the potential for high-value hits. Austin Slater and Anthony Santander also contribute significantly, with Slater boasting a .326 wOBA and Santander a .280 ISO against lefties, hinting at a strong offensive lineup that could capitalize on Gomber’s vulnerabilities, especially considering Gomber’s 1.70 HR/9 rate. This lineup’s blend of high ISO and wOBA figures suggests they could exploit Gomber’s higher home run allowance.
Against right-hand pitchers, the Rockies present a balanced attack, with Ryan McMahon showing a .331 wOBA and a .164 ISO, while Brenton Doyle offers a .323 wOBA, indicating potential for productive at-bats. However, the lineup might face challenges against Suárez, who has maintained a solid 1.27 WHIP and a modest .71 HR/9. Suárez’s performance against righties will be key, as his ability to limit walks and home runs could stifle the Rockies’ hitters.
