With plenty of MLB games taking place each day, one of the quickest bets you can make is if a run will be scored in the first inning. There is value to be had and this market has become very popular over time. If you don’t like sweating out your bets for 3 hours, this one will only take about 15 minutes. This was a very profitable market for the Pickswise MLB team in 2022, so let’s carry that momentum through the 2023 season!

Chicago White Sox vs Toronto Blue Jays: YRFI (-135)
This is a game that features a pair of untrustworthy starting pitchers. When that is the case, you have to lean toward the YRFI in this spot. Last season as a member of the Blue Jays, Jose Berrios was extremely disappointing, posting a 5.28 ERA and was 1 hit shy of allowing 200 hits on the year. That hasn’t changed this season, as Berrios currently holds an ERA of 6.23, an xERA of 5.04 and his xBA, xSLG and hard hit rate are all well below average. Those metrics are ugly, and that even includes a 7-inning quality start from Berrios in his last outing. Look for the White Sox to get on the board to start the game.
