NRFI & YRFI Odds: MLB No Runs & Yes Runs First Inning Betting For Friday, April 4

If you want to bet on NRFI (or YRFI) odds, we have you covered at TheLines. I've collected the best No Run First Inning odds across various betting sites to aid your NRFI odds line shopping. Read on to find the best NRFI odds from Friday, April 4.

Programming note: we'll focus on the evening games in this series.

This week might feature the weakest selection of arms since this column started. Hot weather plus below-average pitching should be a recipe for runs. That's reflected in the totals, almost all of which are at 8.5 or higher. Want to learn more? Explore our "What is NRFI?" page.

Handicapping NRFI & YRFI Odds For April 4

Which games have a decent setup for NRFI odds, and which might be more attractive for YRFI bettors?

Dodgers At Phillies

Two great arms take the mound in this one, so it might be tempting to look at NRFI odds. Indeed, I'm pretty high on Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Jesus Luzardo. We know Yamamoto is great, and Luzardo has spurts of greatness when he's healthy.

However, it's important to remember how terrific these offenses are. Even without Freddie Freeman, the Dodgers might have the best offense in MLB. In fact, with a 121 wRC+, they also had the best offense in the league against lefties last year.

The Phillies are no slouches, either. Only the Yankees have outhit them so far this season.

According to the linked chart, with YRFI at a plus number, it's worth a look and a good play.

Rays At Rangers

Another interesting YRFI spot involves a pitcher returning from multiple years lost to injury. Tyler Mahle has only thrown 40 MLB innings dating to 2022. He had a shaky debut, going just 1.2 IP and handing out four free passes to the Red Sox.

It's not unreasonable to think he may not be back. He didn't have the best spring, with a 4.95 xFIP and a major issue with homers. The Rays have a good chance to jump on him early and cash YRFI odds here.
