Griffin Jax (73%) and Noah Cameron (80%) both clear the 70% threshold individually, and combined they sit at 76.5%. Griffin Jax brings a 4-game NRFI streak into tonight. ## Pick 2: TEX @ CLE — Progressive Field (660ft) *51.5% combined NRFI · 6:40 PM ET* - **Jacob deGrom** (RHP) — 38% NRFI, 3.55 ERA, 1.03 WHIP, streak +1 - **Tanner Bibee** (RHP) — 65% NRFI, 3.78 ERA, 1.14 WHIP, streak +1 Neither starter lets traffic on base. Jacob deGrom carries a 1.03 WHIP, Tanner Bibee a 1.14 — that means few first-inning baserunners, which means few first-inning runs. Tanner Bibee's recent ERA (2.24 over his last five) is sharper than his season 3.78. > **Want the full board?** See all of today's plays on [Top Plays](/top-plays), or dive deeper on the [NRFI dashboard](/mlb/nrfi). ## Pick 3: STL @ ATL — Truist Park (1,050ft) *55.5% combined NRFI · 7:15 PM ET* - **Matthew Liberatore** (LHP) — 44% NRFI, 5.56 ERA, 1.58 WHIP, streak +1 - **Martín Pérez** (LHP) — 67% NRFI, 3.00 ERA, 1.13 WHIP, streak +6 Martín Pérez's 67% scoreless-first rate is what makes this game playable. The other half — Matthew Liberatore at 44% — is the mild risk to size against, but it's the kind of mild that wins more often than not. Martín Pérez has gone NRFI in 6 straight starts. Worth noting: Matthew Liberatore's last-five ERA (8.27) is well above his season number (5.56). The trend has cooled. ## Honorable Mentions - **MIN @ HOU** — combined 47% rate. - **NYM @ TOR** — combined 45.5% rate. - **LAA @ SEA** — combined 45.5% rate. ## Games to Avoid These matchups have the highest first-inning scoring risk on tonight's slate: **MIA @ COL** — Coors at 5,200 feet does what Coors does — even the better arm here (Tanner Gordon at 50%) loses NRFI margin in this air. Pass. **CWS @ BAL** — Trey Gibson has allowed a first-inning run in 3 straight starts. The trend matters more than the season 17% rate, and tonight is not the spot to fade it. **WSH @ BOS** — Cade Cavalli has allowed a first-inning run in 5 straight starts. The trend matters more than the season 31% rate, and tonight is not the spot to fade it. ## Related Guides - [How to Use the NRFI Dashboard](/blog/how-to-use-nrfi-dashboard) - [MLB Weather Betting Guide](/blog/mlb-weather-betting-guide) - [MLB Stats Explained](/blog/mlb-stats-explained) ## Before You Lock Confirm starting pitchers on the [NRFI dashboard](/mlb/nrfi) - a bullpen game kills NRFI value immediately. Check weather at first pitch and be careful at altitude (Coors in particular). NRFI bets land at 55-65% historically; you need ~52.4% to break even at -110.
