Toronto Blue Jays<\/a> 1B Vladimir Guerrero Jr<\/a>. is in a bad homerless drought. In fact, he hasn’t homered at home at all this season. Can he break out of it to help push a YRFI against the New York Yankees<\/a> to the finish line? We like NRFI bets in the Seattle Mariners-Washington Nationals game as well as in the Tampa Bay Rays<\/a> vs. Los Angeles Angels<\/a> matchup.<\/p>\n

We cashed an NRFI at Coors Field at plus-money and a YRFI in a limited Thursday schedule. Today brings a full slate to keep the momentum rolling.<\/p>\n

Best NRFI and YRFI Bets TodayNew York Yankees at Toronto Blue Jays YRFI (+100)<\/p>\n

The Yankees throw LHP Ryan Weathers<\/a> on Friday, and he’s 2-4 with a 3.86 ERA. He has had issues in the first, though, with a 6.00 ERA<\/a> in eight first frames. RHP Trey Yesavage<\/a> was a postseason hero for the Blue Jays last season, but he has allowed a run in the first<\/a> in three of his eight starts. The Yankees are the second-best YRFI team<\/a> in baseball this season, and one of these teams is due to touch home plate<\/a> in the first.<\/p>\n

Seattle Mariners<\/a> at Washington Nationals NRFI (+100)<\/p>\n

Mariners RHP Bryce Miller<\/a> makes his fifth start of the season, and he has been great thus far at 2-0 with a 1.33 ERA. He hasn’t allowed a run<\/a> in the first, and opponents are just 1-for-13 off of him. Nats RHP Zack Littell<\/a> is 6-4 with a 4.76 ERA on the season, but he has been great in the first. He has a 2.00 ERA<\/a> in the opening frame in nine starts. This has the makings of a calm first frame.<\/p>\n

Tampa Bay Rays at Los Angeles Angels NRFI (-105)<\/p>\n

Rays LHP Shane McClanahan has rebounded from Tommy John surgery to go 6-3 with a 2.85 ERA in 12 starts thus far. He has been unhittable to open games<\/a> with a 0.75 ERA, a .122 opponent batting average and 15 K’s in 12 first frames. Speaking of opening, LHP Sam Aldegheri<\/a> will be the opener for the Halos. He has allowed just three earned runs all season, and this matchup looks prime for an NRFI cash.<\/p>\n

What Does NRFI and YRFI Mean in Baseball?<\/p>\n

The term NRFI indicates no runs scored in the first inning. Its opposite, YRFI, indicates yes, a run will be scored in the first inning. It doesn’t matter if the run qualifies as an earned run or not. If a run crosses the plate in the first inning for either team, the wager loses for the NRFI side and wins for the YRFI side.<\/p>\n
