Both offenses have been completely shut down early, combining for zero first-inning runs across their last five games each. Casey Mize's 3.94 ERA keeps Detroit disciplined through the opening frame, while Ranger Suarez—despite a shakier 5.02 ERA—has benefited from Boston's anemic early-inning production. The scoring drought on both sides makes NRFI the sharp play here.
NRFI Angle: Tigers @ Red Sox (April 17, 2026)
The NRFI case here carries real momentum heading into this Friday matchup at Fenway. Detroit's Casey Mize has been the anchor of this angle, riding a nine-game scoreless first-inning streak that speaks to his ability to work cleanly through opposing lineups early. On the Boston side, Ranger Suarez enters with a 5.02 ERA, but the Red Sox have also logged two consecutive scoreless first innings at home. Combined, both clubs share a 12-game first-inning scoreless streak between them. With Mize's 3.94 ERA suggesting solid overall command and both offenses recently quiet in the opening frame, the early scoring trends firmly support backing the NRFI in this one.
