DraftKings lists the NRFI at -145, suggesting a higher probability that the first inning will conclude without any runs. Conversely, the YRFI stands at +105. Michael King of the Padres brings a robust NRFI/YRFI record of 20-3, supported by a WHIP of 1.18, K% of 28.3, and a HR/9 of 1.00. King’s stats against right-hand hitters include a WHIP of 1.02, K% of 33.2, and a slightly higher HR/9 of 1.11, showcasing his effectiveness in limiting opponent scoring chances. Against lefties, his strikeouts go down but a 0.89 HR/9 is key against this lineup.

Zebby Matthews has made just one start this year but had a solid outing. There isn’t too much power to the left-handed side early on, outside of Profar this season. Arraez has been cold of late and the rest of the lineup tends to pick up second time through the order.

Twins vs. Padres NRFI/YRFI Prediction: NRFI (-140)

The MLB odds for the upcoming game between the Mariners and Dodgers from DraftKings show a slight preference towards a NRFI at -110, compared to YRFI at -120. This translates to a 52.38% implied probability for NRFI and a 54.55% probability for YRFI, indicating a closely contested first inning is expected.

Bryan Woo for the Mariners shows a strong NRFI/YRFI record of 12-2, with a WHIP of 0.85, K% of 19.4, BB% of 2.4, and HR/9 of 0.48. Gavin Stone of the Dodgers counters with a 16-6 NRFI/YRFI record, a WHIP of 1.28, K% of 18.1, BB% of 6.1, and HR/9 of 1.11. Both pitchers have effectively limited runs early in games, which is crucial for MLB odds considerations.

Despite the fact neither pitcher allows runs in the first inning, one will be tonight. The Dodgers have one of the best lineups in MLB, starting with the top of their lineup. That helps them have a YRFI percentage of 39%. Since tonight’s game is at Dodger Stadium, a run scored in the first inning is the way to go. And that’s if the Mariners don’t get one in the top half of the first.
