BettingPicks Expert YRFI & NRFI Predictions

Boston Red Sox vs Toronto Blue Jays: YRFI (-122)

Given the betting odds, there’s a strong possibility of witnessing a run in the opening inning of Friday’s game between Boston and Toronto. The teams are well-versed with the strategies of the opposing pitchers: James Paxton for the Red Sox and Jose Berrios for the Blue Jays. Alex Verdugo, a proven player against Berrios, has a 7-for-17 track record that includes a homer and a double.

Likewise, Rafael Devers has logged a home run and three doubles against Berrios. Blue Jays’ top batter, George Springer, boasts of hitting three home runs in 37 at-bats when facing Paxton. Paxton, on two occasions this season, has conceded multiple runs in the initial inning, including two against Cleveland on June 6.

Berrios, in his recent games, hasn’t performed well, allowing eight runs (seven earned) over his last two starts that covered 10.0 innings. Considering the circumstances, at least one of the line-ups should be successful in scoring right off the bat on Friday.

San Francisco Giants vs New York Mets: NRFI (-108)

The Mets consistently present an excellent opportunity for a NRFI wager, primarily due to their league-worst record of 0.28 first-inning runs per game. On Friday, they’re up against the Giants’ Alex Cobb, who possesses a 5-2 record, a 3.09 ERA, and 76 strikeouts over 78.2 innings in the current season. Cobb, the right-handed pitcher, has successfully blanked the opening inning in eight out of his last ten outings.

The Mets’ answer to Cobb is Carlos Carrasco, who, although not having an impressive 2023 season, has managed to maintain clean opening frames in three out of his last five appearances. Mitch Haniger is the sole San Francisco batter to have scored off Carrasco, but he is currently on the 60-day injured list.
