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 take only about 15 minutes. I’m on a 10-3-1 run with my YRFI/NRFI plays, so let’s keep the momentum going!

Cincinnati Reds vs Washington Nationals: YRFI (-130)
For my first pick on Wednesday’s slate, I’m taking the YRFI in this NL matchup between the Reds and Nationals. Cincinnati has turned heads this season and after a terrific month of June, the Reds have a very real shot at winning the NL Central for the first time since 2013. The Reds success is in large part due to their explosive offense, as Cincinnati has scored the 7th-most runs in baseball this season while simultaneously allowing the 4th-most runs. With an ERA of 6.66 and sitting in the bottom 10 percentile of all qualified starters in xERA and xBA, Graham Ashcraft has certainly been doing his part to contribute to those pitching struggles. I’d expect him to surrender another early run on Wednesday.
