Analysis · updated 9:38 AM ET

Both starters are dealing right now — Aaron Civale's 1.72 ERA anchors a dominant Athletics rotation, while Davis Martin has been equally sharp at 2.50. The clincher? Neither offense has scored a single run across their last five games combined. When pitchers are locked in and bats are completely cold, the first inning stays quiet. NRFI is the play.


NRFI Angle: Athletics vs. White Sox (April 17, 2026)

The numbers strongly favor a quiet first inning in Oakland on Friday. The combined first-inning scoreless streak between these two clubs sits at 13, reflecting consistent early-game silence from both dugouts. The White Sox carry a particularly impressive scoreless-side streak of 7 in the opening frame, signaling Davis Martin has been keeping opponents off the board early. His 2.50 ERA supports that narrative. On the other side, Oakland's Aaron Civale has been downright stingy, posting a 1.72 ERA. With two pitchers locked in and both teams trending toward quiet first innings, the NRFI looks like a compelling play here.

Lean: NRFI ✅
