The New York Mets offense has been struggling in the first inning so far this season. The Mets are averaging a league-low .36 runs per game in the first inning to start the season. Last season, with more or less the same lineup, the Mets were 10th in the MLB in NRFIs, with a hit rate north of 50%.
The Tigers are 21st in the MLB this year in the first inning, scoring .47 runs per game in the first frame. The Tigers had a massive scoring outbreak against the White Sox, which boosted this number tremendously. Last season, Detroit was the 5th best NRFI team in the MLB, as they did not score a run in the first in 87 of the 162 games.
