It’s another full slate of MLB action on Tuesday, August 5, and as we continue creeping closer to the end of the season, games are beginning to matter that little bit more. On tap for tonight are Astros vs Marlins, Orioles vs Phillies, Royals vs Red Sox, Yankees vs Rangers and Reds vs Cubs on TBS. There are tons of ways to bet on these games, but the fastest wager you can make is if a run will be scored in the first inning — YRFI or NRFI. There is value to be had in this market, so let’s dive into my YRFI/NRFI best bet of the day. You can also find out our expert MLB picks for EVERY GAME today.
YRFI/NRFI best bet: Royals vs Red Sox – NRFI (-140)
Odds available at Fanatics Sportsbook at time of publishing.
The NRFIs have been pretty solid lately and we’re hoping to add to that with a quick first inning in Royals vs Red Sox. Garrett Crochet is on the mound for Boston, and a pitcher of his caliber will always have you feeling extra confident. Crochet has a 2.86 ERA in the first inning, and Kansas City has now failed to score in the opening frame in each of their last 5 games. On the flip side, we have Ryan Bergert pitching for the Royals. He has been extremely solid this year, especially early on. Bergert has started 7 games and hasn’t allowed a first-inning run in any of them. I’m locking in the NRFI at Fenway Park as today’s YRFI/NRFI best bet. Let’s roll!
