NRFI Bets Today: Check Out Our Expert's Pick for Thursday's Must-Have NFRI Bet
We are having a change of scenery here as the Padres will travel to Minnesota when in search of a no-run first inning. Bailey Ober will handle business to begin this matchup against a struggling Padres offense. Ober is currently 2-1 to the NRFI this year and was a fantastic 8-2 during the 2022 season. More notably, Ober has a home NRFI record of 6-1 (86%) in the past two seasons, which is a huge split for success here. Ober should find success here as he has only allowed two runs through 18.1 innings this season (.98 ERA).

NRFI Bets Today - Minnesota Twins vs. San Diego Padres Prediction
Ober will be battling against a Padres offense that has cashed the NRFI in seven of their last ten games and both games against the Twins this series. The Padres' offense has been horrid on the road, going 12-4 (75%) to the NRFI while batting .207 and averaging only four runs per game while on the road this season.
After Ober battles against the Padres offense, the pitching specialist Yu Darvish will take over against the substandard Minnesota Twins offense. Darvish got off to a great start in 2023, going 4-2 to the NRFI while holding a perfect 2-0 away split. The Twins have not seen Darvish in over three years which is huge for a pitcher like Darvish with 7+ pitches in his arsenal that will be completely unfamiliar to the batters. With runners on, Darvish is holding batters to a .148 average which will be huge for a scoreless first inning.
Darvish is going to face a Minnesota Twins offense that currently ranks 27/30 in first-inning runs per game through 2023. This season, the Twins are 29-7 (81%) to the NRFI but have posted a 14-3 (82%) NRFI split at home, which is 26/30th in the league. Through their last ten games, the Twins have cashed the NRFI nine times in that span which is a fantastic split favoring Darvish. All of the first three batters for Minnesota are batting under .227, so look for Darvish to have a three up, three down sequence in the first.
