  • DraftKings: YRFI -150
  • DraftKings: NRFI +110

Will Warren of the Yankees has a WHIP of 1.76, a K% of 25.5, and a BB% of 10.6. His HR/9 stands at 1.86, contributing to an NRFI/YRFI record of 1-1. Davis Martin of the White Sox counters with a WHIP of 1.46, a K% of 21.8, a BB% of 12.7, and a lower HR/9 of 0.73, also holding an NRFI/YRFI record of 1-1. Both pitchers have demonstrated capabilities that influence MLB odds for NRFI/YRFI bets.

In five of the last eight Yankees games, there has been a run scored in the first inning. For the season, New York has a YRFI percentage of 38.9%. That helps explain why the YRFI odds for tonight’s game are -150. Since both starting pitchers are unproven in terms of NRFI and YRFI, the best bet tonight is a run scored in the first inning. Plus, the Yankees will have Juan Soto and Aaron Judge, who can score a run by their lonesome.

For the upcoming Dodgers vs. Brewers game, the DraftKings SportsBook lists the odds for NRFI at -105 and YRFI at -130. These odds suggest a probability of 51.2% for NRFI and 56.5% for YRFI, indicating a slightly higher chance of a run in the first inning. Walker Buehler for the Dodgers presents a WHIP of 1.51, a K% of 17.7, BB% of 5.7, and HR/9 of 2.43, holding a NRFI/YRFI record of 4-4. Frankie Montas from the Brewers counters with a WHIP of 1.46, K% of 19, BB% of 9.5, and HR/9 of 1.41, boasting a NRFI/YRFI record of 16-5.

Both arms are concerning against offenses within a smaller ballpark. With Betts back, the Dodgers load up their front of the order against Montas. He has allowed a .382 wOBA and .224 ISO to lefties this season, which does not bode well against Ohtani and Freeman. Buehler is making his first start since the IL, and overall he has not been great this season. He has allowed over a .200 ISO to both sides of the plate, and .358 wOBA to right-handers. This is a great spot for both sides to drive in a run early.
