Let’s take a look at some No Runs First Inning prop bet odds and picks for today’s game: Red Sox vs. Pirates.
Boston Red Sox vs. Pittsburgh Pirates – 7:05 pm ET
This matchup on the mound is a contrast of old versus you as rookie Roansy Contreras will be making his first start since July 7th. Prior to his injury, Contreras was impressive through his first nine career starts. As a result, he’ll come into this matchup with a 3.78 ERA while averaging a strikeout per inning. However, what was even more impressive was his dominance in the first inning. Contreras has not allowed a run, has a 0.89 WHIP, and has a 31 percent strikeout rate in the first inning this year. However, he’ll need to return to form in a hurry as the Red Sox are fifth in first-inning runs per game on the road.
