The no run first inning picks for Tuesday, July 30, don’t look all that great, so we’re going to need an extra energy drink to sweat the best NRFI bet today. We’re heading to the west coast for the latest game on the slate and firing up a -110 no run first inning bet, so come sweat it with me …
NRFI Bets Today: Best No Run First Inning Picks & Predictions
Oakland Athletics vs. San Francisco Giants | NRFI Bets Today
After cashing Monday’s no run first inning bet with ease, we’re going for back-to-back NRFI bet wins here on Tuesday, and we’re putting our coin on the Athletics-Giants NRFI.
This might be a slightly overlooked NRFI bet today, with other options like Mariners-Red Sox, Cubs-Reds and maybe even Guardians-Tigers. And we’re getting some sick value at -110 because of it (and you got it at -105 last night if you’re an OddsShopper Discord member).
Robbie Ray is getting his second start of 2024 for the Giants, and while he didn’t cash the NRFI in his last outing, he did look GREAT. He went five innings, allowed ZERO hits and somehow gave up a run while striking out eight Dodgers. So there’s no doubt in my mind the stuff was good; he just got a tad unlucky.
Tonight against the A’s, he’s getting to start at home in Oracle Park and the projected total is only 7.5 runs, so oddsmakers aren’t expecting a ton of offense in general, which is a good sign.
Yes, the A’s bats have been better of late, but they still have a 24% strikeout rate against left-handed pitchers this season, so they still have their warts.
And on the other side, we have JP Sears, who is 14-7 on NRFI bets in 2024 and is seeing the majority of these Giants hitters for the first time in his career.
The Giants also strikeout at a 23% clip against lefties this season and just lost one of their best bats against southpaws as Jorge Soler was traded back to the Braves. So losing arguably their best hitter is nothing but a boost to Sears’ case here.
We’ll trust the linemakers and follow the low total here to cash the A’s-Gants NRFI bet today.
Best NRFI Bets Today: A’s-Giants NRFI (-110, BetMGM)
Check out this market-based MLB betting model pick that I found using our OddsShopper tools if you want more MLB betting picks and predictions for Tuesday, July 30.
This MLB bet today comes from the same A’s-Giants game we have a NRFI in and correlates with the no run first inning pick we’re rocking.
Giants outfielder Heliot Ramos‘ under on 0.5 total RBIs is coming in as a positive expected value (+EV) bet in the OddsShopper model.
With odds sitting at -180 on ESPN BET, it’s getting a 3% EV because the true odds are rated at -198, which is giving us 18 points of value.
We know this game has a low projected total of 7.5 runs, so we’re not looking at a ton of offense and playing a correlated prop with the NRFI bet could be a strong wager.
I’m trusting the tools on this one.
