NRFI Today - Miami Marlins vs. Houston Astros Prediction

Luzardo will come to the mound as he takes on the Houston Astros offense. The Astros offense has struggled mightily in the first inning recently, cashing both NRFI’s against the Marlins this series and being 6-0 in all of their last six games. After Altuve, the Astros batters have really struggled against Luzardo, which will be a challenge for the lefty.

After Luzardo, the experienced Justin Verlander will take over in the bottom of the first inning against the familiar Miami Marlins. Verlander has struggled a bit in the first inning this season with only a 12-9 NRFI record; however, he has cashed all of his last three. Last season, Verlander was 26-1 to the NRFI; he will look to flash some of his 2022 prime first-inning splits.

Verlander will take on the statistically worst first-inning offense in the league, the Miami Marlins. The Marlins have only scored in 19.63% of the first innings, ranking dead last in the MLB. In their last three games, the Marlins have secured an NRFI in all three, as they will do once again today.
