Be it a No Run First Inning or Yes Run First Inning bet, the goal is to maximize the return with only six outs to play. Be it the Twins who seem to have a knack for early scoring or the Yankees holding most teams scoreless, here are the top value plays in the later games with the best NRFI bets today.

Tigers vs. Twins NRFI/YRFI
These are two opposite teams not only in the standings but also from a metrics standpoint early in games. The Tigers are near the bottom of MLB in runs per first inning, and equally bad in giving up runs in the first frame. Not helping matters for Detroit is how good Minnesota is in scoring early – second in MLB with 7.4 runs per first inning. The Twins are third-best in the majors, allowing just .31 runs per first inning. It is best to defer to the offense, specifically from Minnesota.

Orioles vs. Yankees NRFI/YRFI Bet
The Yankees have dropped three straight as they watch their bats go mostly silent. Despite losing 6-4 to Baltimore last night, the Yankees did see Aaron Judge go long in the first inning. Their top half of the lineup continues to present issues for lesser pitching, which is a key area to attack in the first inning. New York is also top in all of baseball, allowing just .24 runs per first inning. The Orioles are averaging .63 runs in the first, but that jumps to .70 at home.

Red Sox vs. White Sox NRFI/YRFI Bet | Claim $200 FREE at BetMGM
A solid pitching matchup should ensure a scoreless first inning tonight on the Southside of Chicago. Dylan Cease bounced back from an ugly start two outings ago and blanked the Royals in 5 2/3 innings. Nick Pivetta has given up just two runs over his past three starts combined heading into tonight’s game. Boston does not score much in the first – 22nd in MLB – but neither do they give up much, sitting at fourth-best in holding opponents scoreless in the first inning.
