NRFI Bets Today: Check Out Our Expert's Pick for Thursday's Must-Have NFRI Bet

To begin this No Run First Inning matchup, Eury Perez will handle business against the Washington Nationals. Although there is limited data on Perez, with his first start coming last week, Perez is off to a 1-0 NRFI start to his career. The righty sits 98 with his rising fastball while containing a commanding slider and changeup, eerily similar to his teammate Sandy Alcantara. Look for Perez to build off a fantastic start last week and secure three outs for the Marlins here.

NRFI Bets Today - Miami Marlins vs. Washington Nationals Prediction

As for his opponent, Eury Perez will be challenged against a Nationals squad that has cashed over 76% of their first innings while traveling. Overall, the Nationals are 30-13 (70%) to the NRFI and have not scored against either Luzardo or Edward Cabrera during this series with the Marlins. With Joey Menses being on paternity leave, his absence of a .295 bat should be a huge advantage to Perez here.

Once Perez faces the Nationals, Trevor Williams will head into Miami to take on these Marlin bats. Williams last season went 7-3 (70%) to the NRFI and is off to a hot start through 2023, holding onto a 7-1 (88%) NRFI record thus far. While on the road this season, Williams is 4-0 (100%) to the NRFI and is going to be battling against a horrid first-inning offense.

As stated above, Trevor Williams will head into Miami to face this struggling Marlins offense that has cashed the NRFI in 8 of their last ten games. Through 2023, the Marlins are currently 36-7 (84%) overall to the NRFI while going 20-4 (83%) while at home, which ranks 29/30th in the league. With a -14% effect on home runs due to weather, look for both of these teams to go silent in the first inning for a successful No Run First Inning.
