Best YRFI & NRFI Picks Today: 3 PARLAY WINS IN A ROW & 12-3 Winning Streak! (September 30)

Updated September 30, 2023 | 12:04 pm CDT by Nathan Joyce

We won ANOTHER no run first inning parlay! That makes three parlay wins in a row for us, and a 12-3 winning streak overall! It’s an absolute print fest right now! We smashed for +4.63 units with Friday’s YRFI/NRFI picks, and we’re looking for more!

I’d love to see all of your winning screenshots, so follow me on Twitter and tweet me those winning slips so I can hit you with a retweet and show off all of your wins!

Now, let’s keep the heater burning with my two best NRFI bets today!

(function (d, w, c) {(w[c] = w[c] || []).push(function() {try {w.yaCounter92258009 = new Ya.Metrika2({id:92258009,clickmap:true,trackLinks:true,accurateTrackBounce:true});} catch(e) { }});var n = d.getElementsByTagName("script")[0],s = d.createElement("script"),f = function () { n.parentNode.insertBefore(s, n); };s.type = "text/javascript";s.async = true;s.src = "https://mc.yandex.ru/metrika/tag.js";if (w.opera == "[object Opera]") {d.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", f, false);} else { f(); }})(document, window, "yandex_metrika_callbacks2");

Best YRFI & NRFI Bets Today: Yes & No Run First Inning Bets

Houston Astros vs. Arizona Diamondbacks First Inning Bet

This HAS to be mentioned before anything else. The line for the NRFI is +105 at Bet365 right now, and I insta-smashed that when I saw it! At most other books it’s 10-15 points worse, so please, stop what you’re doing, and immediately bet this single at +105. And, if you do, you can get in the bet $1, get $365 limited time offer they have going on. It’s the best sportsbook promo around, and it’ll boost your bankroll for NFL!

Now to the meat and potatoes. Or, just meat if you’re living that no-carb life. Shouts to you if you are.

Houston and Arizona both have something to play for, and we’re getting two strong arms from both teams — Justin Verlander and Merrill Kelly. Kelly is 22-7 on his no run first inning chances this season, and has some ridiculous career numbers against the Astros. In 22 ABs, Kelly has allowed only 3 hits, 3 walks and allowed exactly ZERO runs. Not too shabby, eh? I don’t suspect he can hold them down forever, but he can for at least 3 outs in the first.

Verlander on the other hand, has rounded back into form late this season. He’s 15-11 on NRFIs, but he’s cashed the NRFI in 2 straight games and that includes games against the Mariners and Orioles. It appears he’s found his strikeout again, notching 26 Ks in his last 4 starts. I think we’re going to get a hype Verlander, which might give some added adrenaline and help him dial it up in the bottom of the 1st for us.

Texas Rangers vs. Seattle Mariners First Inning Bet

If you know anything, you know there are a handful of pitchers I have full-blown man crushes on, and Luis Castillo is one of them. The fellas just DEALS. We’ve rocked with him all season long to cash NRFIs for us, and we’re going to ride him again in this matchup. He’s 24-8 on NRFIs and is 2-0 on no run first innings against the Rangers this year. He’ll be fired up for this game with a lot on the line, and I’m hoping we get a Classic Castillo.

The Rangers placed Jon Gray on the IL, and announced Andrew Heaney as their starter for today’s game. Initially, it sounds bad, right? What if I told you … Heany is actually 20-7 on NRFIs and has looked GREAT of late, despite not starting? He’s given up ONE run in his last 5 innings, and has 5 Ks as well. He faced the Mariners on Sept. 22 and 28, and had 4 Ks in 3.1 combined innings. Heaney has NRFI’d the Mariners once already this season, let’s look for him to do it again tonight!

Saturday’s YRFI/NRFI Parlay

After smashing our NRFI parlay with the DraftKings boost yesterday, we’re hoping to do it again. With the 25% parlay boost they’ve given us, we can get this all the way up to +306.

Let’s make it FOUR straight parlay wins!

First-inning bets are some of the most enjoyable sweats in the MLB betting business. If you want to start making money on your NRFI and YRFI picks, positive expected value (+EV) each day.
