NRFI Best Bet Today #1: Philadelphia Phillies vs Cincinnati Reds (+100)

We’re going to the first game on the board today as Taijuan Walker goes up against Andrew Abbott in Cincinnati.

Walker has been effective as a starter this season not allowing a first inning run in 10 of 13 starts on the season and the Reds failing to score in the first inning in seven straight games.

The Phillies will be the road team in this one with Walker sporting a 2.80 road ERA compared to a 4.12 ERA at home on the season.

On the other hand Abbott posts a 2.05 home ERA this season and has held opponents scoreless in the first inning in 19 of his 20 starts including five straight.

The Phillies have failed to score in the first inning in 75% of their road games and failed to do so in their final two games at Texas over the weekend as well.

We get valuable odds at +100 for a Phillies vs Reds NRFI to occur today with first pitch slated for 6:10PM ET.

NRFI Best Bet Today #2: Boston Red Sox vs Houston Astros (-145)

Cristian Javier makes his season debut for the Astros today after coming off the 60-day IL due to Tommy John Surgery he had 14 months ago.

In limited action last season he did post a 1.93 home ERA as he’ll get a Red Sox lineup that’s failed to score in the first inning in 72% of their road games this season.

Two of three head-to-head matchups between the Red Sox and Astros have gone to a NRFI as Garrett Crochet starts for Boston. Crochet hasn’t allowed a first inning run in 18 of 23 starts this season while posting a 2.08 road ERA.

The Astros are bottom five in first inning scoring this season at home failing to do so in 76% of those games with Houston still sitting top 10 in NRFI results even though they’ve played to a YRFI in their last five games.

Play on a Red Sox vs Astros NRFI to happen today with first pitch slated for 8:10PM ET and odds listed at -145.
