Tonight’s game is the perfect blend of a team that allows first-inning runs with a team that scores first-inning runs. And that’s if Carlos Rodón doesn’t get the party started first by giving up a run to the Rockies. Both starting pitchers tend to allow runs, as Kyle Freeland has a NRFI record of 8-6 while Rodón is 15-10. The Yankees, meanwhile, have a YRFI percentage of 39.8%, led by Juan Soto and Aaron Judge at the top of the New York lineup … at home.
Rockies vs. Yankees NRFI/YRFI Prediction: YRFI (-125)
Nationals vs. Braves NRFI/YRFI
| Chris Sale (L) (ATL) | Stat | MacKenzie Gore (L) (WSH) |
|---|---|---|
| 14-9 | NRFI/YRFI Record | 21-4 |
| 32.7% | K% | 22.6% |
| 5.6% | BB% | 9% |
| 0.99 | WHIP | 1.58 |
| 0.51 | HR/9 | 0.79 |
MacKenzie Gore for the Nationals shows a WHIP of 1.58, a K% of 22.6, and a BB% of 9.0, with a HR/9 of 0.79. His NRFI/YRFI record stands at 21-4. Chris Sale of the Braves counters with a WHIP of 0.99, a K% of 32.7, and a BB% of 5.6, alongside a HR/9 of 0.51, holding a NRFI/YRFI record of 14-9. DraftKings lists the NRFI odds at -145, indicating a higher likelihood of no run in the first inning. Conversely, YRFI odds are set at +105.
The Braves showcase power against left-handers with Jorge Soler and Marcell Ozuna leading. Soler’s .408 wOBA and .250 ISO, combined with Ozuna’s .413 wOBA and .213 ISO, position the Braves for significant impact. This is where the concern could be, but also having Austin Riley missing does present an easier path for Gore. Sale should have no issue rolling through the early part of the order. I’m backing the track record of these two arms who have been solid more often than not in the NRFI department this season.
Nationals vs. Braves NRFI/YRFI Prediction: NRFI (-145)
Phillies vs. Royals NRFI/YRFI
Michael Wacha (R) (KC) Stat Taijuan Walker (R) (PHI)
18-4 NRFI/YRFI Record 7-5
20.3% K% 18.3%
7.1% BB% 9.7%
1.21 WHIP 1.51
0.99 HR/9 2.19
Taijuan Walker, with a NRFI record of 7-5, will face Michael Wacha, who has an NRFI record of 18-4. Betting odds for NRFI/YRFI are available, with DraftKings listing YRFI at -140 and NRFI at 105, indicating a preference towards a YRFI outcome. This translates to a 58.33% implied probability for a YRFI and a 48.78% chance for NRFI, showcasing close betting odds and probabilities for both outcomes in this MLB matchup.
Taijuan Walker for the Phillies shows a WHIP of 1.51, K% of 18.3, BB% of 9.7, and HR/9 of 2.19. Michael Wacha of the Royals counters with a WHIP of 1.21, K% of 20.3, BB% of 7.1, and HR/9 of 0.99. Both pitchers have showcased abilities to control the game. However, Walker’s performance against left and right-hand hitters indicates a slightly better WHIP of 1.48 against righties, with a K% of 21.6. Wacha’s stats reveal a consistent WHIP of 1.22 against right-hand hitters and a K% of 19. The home and away stats, with Walker’s WHIP at 1.58 in away games and Wacha’s WHIP at 1.22 in home games, further inform tonight’s mlb betting strategies.
The Phillies’ ability to capitalize on Wacha’s 1.21 WHIP and HR/9 of 0.99 could shift tonight in favor of a YRFI outcome. Meanwhile, Walker’s struggle with a high HR/9 of 2.19 and WHIP of 1.51 could be exploited by the Royals’ lineup, making this matchup particularly interesting for early-inning bettors.
