Top MLB No Runs First Inning (NRFI) Picks & Odds: Diamondbacks vs. Royals
This matchup will showcase two of the best right-handers in all of baseball. Getting us started in the top of the first will be Brady Singer. The former Florida Gator has been the bright spot of the Royals rotation. He has quietly been spectacular in the first inning this season. Through 17 starts, he holds a 1.59 ERA and 1.06 WHIP. On top of his fantastic numbers, he also gets to face a team in the Diamondbacks that ranks 21st in first-inning runs per game on the road. So unless Christian Walker hits a solo homer, Singer should cruise early.
The bottom of the first will be in the hands of Zac Gallen. Gallen has been tremendous this season. He enters with a 9-2 record, a 2.78 ERA, and 0.96 WHIP. It should be no surprise that his excellence starts in the first inning. Through 23 starts, he has a 1.57 ERA and a 0.74 WHIP in the first inning this season. Just like his counterpart, he has a good matchup. The Royals enter tonight ranked 24th in first-inning runs per game, and they have the sixth highest team strikeout rate since the All-Star break. So look for Gallen to be dominant in this outing.
Pick: NRFI -145
