Best NRFI Bets Today: No Run First Inning MLB Picks for Tuesday 4/7/26

The MLB season is an annual marathon that gives us months of daily betting markets to consider.

While traditional player props like home runs and strikeouts remain popular options, one market that's gained steam is betting whether or not no runs will be scored in the first inning -- aka a No Run First Inning (NRFI) bet.

On FanDuel Sportsbook's MLB odds, we can find NRFI odds listed as 1st Inning Over/Under 0.5 Runs odds under the Innings tab for each MLB game.

Where can we find value in this unique prop market today?

NRFI Betting Picks for Today

Tigers vs. Twins -- NRFI

This is my favorite NRFI on the slate. Tarik Skubal owns a 0.69 ERA, Taj Bradley sits at 0.87, and the market total is just 6.5 to 7. That is exactly the kind of run environment that supports a first-inning no-score play. Both pitchers have been suppressing damage, and there is very little margin for a bookside error when the full-game number is already this low.

Phillies vs. Giants -- NRFI

Cristopher Sánchez’s form is elite, and Oracle Park helps. He carries a 0.79 ERA and 17 strikeouts, while Robbie Ray has also been respectable at 3.38. On top of that, San Francisco has had one of the weakest offenses in baseball so far, and the total is only 7. That is a strong NRFI recipe.

Diamondbacks vs. Mets -- NRFI

Zac Gallen against Freddy Peralta gives this game NRFI appeal even if both teams are capable of power. The total is 7, both clubs are around the .500 mark, in that environment, I like betting the arms rather than guessing which offense lands the first early swing.
