The MLB season continues with a full 15-game slate on Tuesday, May 13. Among the hot matchups is a clash between the Red Sox and Tigers live on TBS, as well as Pirates vs Mets, Royals vs Astros and Yankees vs Mariners. With a full slate of action, there are tons of ways to wager on today’s games, but one of the quickest bets 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 it’s no wonder that these bets have become very popular over time. We went 2-0 on YRFI/NRFI best bets yesterday, so let’s keep that going today! You can also find out our MLB picks for all of today’s big games.
YRFI/NRFI best bet: Dodgers vs Athletics – YRFI (-115)
Odds available at Fanatics Sportsbook at time of publishing.
We are 2-0 on YRFIs on the year and looking to ride the wave of trusting the batters early on. This is a pick I really like and for good reason. We have Jeffery Springs and Landon Knack on the mound. Springs has allowed 12 earned runs in the 1st inning this year over 8 innings. He has a dreadful 13.50 ERA early on in games. He gets no break today as he faces the juggernaut Dodgers with Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman.
On the other side, we have Landon Knack, who has a 9.00 1st-inning ERA over 3 starts. The Dodgers score the most runs in the 1st inning and the Athletics are 7th in that category. This just feels like great value at -115 odds, so let’s lock it in and hope the balls fly early at Dodger Stadium.
