Its opposite, YRFI, indicates yes, there will be a run in the first inning. It doesn\u2019t 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 Copyright 2026 The Arena Group, Inc.
