Gavin Williams has been virtually unhittable this season with a filthy 2.04 ERA, and both offenses have been completely frozen — each averaging 0.0 first-inning runs over their last five games. Two cold lineups facing elite early-inning pitching makes the no-run first inning the obvious lean here.
NRFI Watch: Orioles @ Guardians (April 18)
The first inning looks quiet in Cleveland on Saturday, and the numbers back it up. Baltimore's Dean Kremer takes the mound with recent strong form, as the Orioles carry an impressive 8-game scoreless first-inning streak into this matchup. On the Cleveland side, Gavin Williams has been dominant, posting a sterling 2.04 ERA that makes him exceptionally difficult to score against early. The combined first-inning scoreless streak between these two clubs sits at 13, reinforcing the case that runs will be hard to come by before the second inning arrives. With elite starting pitching and momentum clearly favoring a quiet opening frame, the NRFI is a compelling angle here.
