Our model takes a conservative approach when generating NRFI recommendations, considering factors like team NRFI history, pitcher performance, team batting stats, ballpark conditions, weather, and player/team streaks. Focusing on single-team NRFIs, rather than the entire game, can improve your chances by targeting specific team tendencies in the first inning. (Tip: Always check current weather conditions, as they can significantly affect ball travel in certain MLB ballparks.) Single-team NRFIs are often best used in parlays due to the heavy juice placed by sportsbooks. However, we also recommend full-game NRFIs when our model identifies a strong opportunity across both teams.

✅ Model Picks:
- Pirates/Tigers – NRFI
Two of the most consistent NRFI arms today in a park with low volatility. Both teams have struggled to get production from the top of the lineup recently. - Royals/Rangers – NRFI
Game is in a dome, eliminating weather risk. Pitchers are trending well, and both teams’ top of the order hasn’t produced much early damage. - Rockies/Nationals – YRFI
Marquez and Parker are both liabilities in the 1st inning, and Nationals Park has one of the highest YRFI rates (55%). Risky arms in a hitter-friendly spot. - Guardians/Giants – NRFI
Verlander’s command and Logan Allen’s splits both support NRFI. Top of the order hitters on both sides haven’t been connecting early. - Brewers Team NRFI
Misiorowski is making his mark fast, and the Brewers are on a 12-game NRFI streak. Cubs’ top hitters have cooled down considerably. - Marlins Team NRFI (included only in the lotto parlay)
Suarez has been elite in the 1st, and Miami’s early bats have lacked punch. This one is high juice, so we’re slotting it into the parlay only.
