We luckily have a fairly full slate of games for this Monday, with a wide range of pitching matchups. With some teams playing more games or setting their rotations up differently we have several matchups with Opening Day starters facing other teams’ number five starters. Let’s dive into my favorite bets of the week. All Odds From DraftKings Sportsbook.
Monday’s Best MLB No Runs First Inning Bets
Season Record: 3-2
In one of the Ace vs. Five Starter matchups of the day, we have the Guardians and Yankees. Cleveland is sending Shane Beiber to the mound, and he has gotten off to a great start thus far in 2023. However, his K/9 is down to begin the season, and it makes his profile a bit riskier. He has always allowed loud contact but limited walks well enough and struck out enough hitters to get away with the loud contact. He has allowed a 0.270 wOBA in his career the first time through the order, and while the Yankee’s order is excellent, he has enough skills to keep them off the board in the first inning.
