Two elite arms take the mound with Wrobleski (2.12 ERA) and Imanaga (2.45 ERA) combining for one of the sharpest pitcher matchups on the slate. Both clubs have averaged zero first-inning runs over their last five games, making the no-run first inning a near-automatic play. When the numbers align this cleanly on both sides, you ride it.
NRFI Angle: Cubs @ Dodgers (April 26, 2026)
Everything points toward a quiet first inning at Dodger Stadium on Sunday. The combined first-inning scoreless streak between these two clubs sits at 13, reflecting genuine early-game offensive silence from both sides. Los Angeles has kept the first frame clean in three straight, while Chicago carries an even more impressive five-game scoreless first-inning streak into this matchup. The pitching setup makes fading early runs even easier to justify. Justin Wrobleski takes the mound for the Dodgers carrying a sharp 2.12 ERA, opposed by Cubs lefty Shota Imanaga at 2.45. Two elite starters, two teams trending heavily scoreless in the opening frame — the NRFI case here is straightforward and well-supported.
