As this NRFI matchup heads to Chicago, Marcus Stroman will take over against a fellow divisional rival. Stroman is historically known for his NRFI success, holding an 18-4 overall NRFI record with a 10-1 home split in 2023 while being 39-8 to the NRFI since the start of the 2022 season. In 67.1 home innings pitched this season, Stroman has only allowed five home runs while allowing opposing batters to a mere .183 batting average.

NRFI Today - Cincinnati Reds vs. Chicago Cubs Prediction
As Stroman has many comfortable splits, he will look to take on the divisional Cincinnati Reds. Although overall, the Reds' splits are decent in the first inning, they have struggled immensely on the road with a 42-10 away NRFI record on the offensive side. The current Reds lineup has 32 career at-bats against Stroman, totaling six hits (.188) with zero extra-base hits and six strikeouts.
Once Stroman goes into battle, Andrew Abbott will take over in the bottom of the first inning against the Cubs' offense. Abbot has arguably been the best rookie of the 2023 season, posting a 1.90 ERA, .96 WHIP, .184 OBA, and a 7-3 NRFI record. As of Abbott’s last 14.0 innings pitched, zero runs have been scored while only eight hits have been recorded compared to 15 strikeouts.
As Abbot comes to the mound, the Chicago offense will meet him at home plate as we search for three more outs. The Cubs currently rank 25 out of 30th in first-inning runs per game, only scoring in 23.81% of their first innings in 2023. With Abbott's extreme dominance as of late combined with the Cub's first-inning struggles, look for three scoreless outs in the bottom of the first inning.
