Best Opening Day NRFI Bets
One of the first NRFI bets we are making for Opening Day is the Giants and the Padres going under a run in the first inning. San Diego already had their first two games of the season, and they are 1-1 scoring runs in the first inning. They did not score a run off of Tyler Glassnow, but they scored five off rookie pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
In Yu Darvish’s first start of the season against the Dodgers, he did not allow a first-inning run, so he is 1-0 on the season in NRFIs. We like how Darvish has already seen game action, as it’s less likely he is rusty since he has already pitched this season. San Diego was 5th in first-inning runs allowed last year, but Darvish already getting out the jitters is a plus for this bet.
