Top MLB No Runs First Inning (NRFI) Picks & Odds: Mets vs. Yankees
New York Mets vs. New York Yankees 7:05
The second act of the Subway Series is set to commence tonight in the Bronx, and the Mets are firing ready to fire their big guns as Max Scherzer will be getting the ball. Scherzer has been one of the best pitchers in the majors this season, and his dominance begins in the first inning. Through 17 starts, he has a 1.06 ERA and a 0.59 WHIP in the first inning this season. He’ll also benefit from a slumping Yankee lineup that is dangerous but hasn’t proven to be as of late as they have the second worst team batting average since the trade deadline.
Domingo German will toe the slab in the top of the first. German had his first successful start of the season against the New York Mets. In July, he threw four-plus innings and allowed just two runs while striking out seven batters. German has improved with every outing he’s had since he returned, and we’ll be in great shape if he can replicate his success from his first matchup with the Mets. However, it will be no easy task as the Mets lead the majors in first-inning runs per game at home.
Pick: NRFI -135
What are Player Props?
Player props refer to wagers that bettors can make based on player performance in a specific game. The majority of player props are built around the most common statistical benchmarks for a specific sport such as yards and touchdowns in football. Most player props are straight over/under plays that open at or near -110 and are adjusted based on where the money lands.
