NRFI Today - New York Mets vs. Chicago White Sox Prediction

Carrasco will match up against a horrid Chicago White Sox offense that rans 25th in runs, 20th in hits, 22nd in RBIs, and 23rd in SLG%. In terms of first-inning offensive production, the White Sox have failed to score in 78% of their first innings. To boost confidence even more, the White Sox are 11-0 to the NRFI in their last 11 games, which should give an advantage to the arm of Carrasco here. 

Lucas Gilitio will take over in the bottom of the first inning against the worst first-inning offense in baseball as he travels to New York. Giolito has been dominant as of late, posting a 2.77 ERA this month through two starts and a 2.32 ERA through five starts in June. In terms of matchups, here is the Met's lineup against Gilitio in their career: Brandon Nimmo (0-3), Jeff McNeil (0-3), Francisco Lindor (6-18), and Pete Alonso (0-3).

As for the New York Mets, they rank dead last in first-inning runs per game this season, only putting up a run in 19% of their games this season. Coming into today, the Mets are 5-0 to the NRFI in their last five games while being 8-2 in their last 10. Being the worst first-inning offense and having horrible splits against Gilitio, look for three outs to come here.
