🔥 Orioles vs. Nationals Best Bet: YRFI - Yes Run First Inning (-125 at Novig)

It was yet ANOTHER 2-for-2 day with our top picks for the MLB slate, and since it started with our popular first-inning market, we’re starting there again. This time, we’re heading to the battle of I-95, and for those not on the East Coast, it means the Baltimore vs. Washington battle. It’s a perfect spot for our MLB best bets today.

Washington has been the absolute BEST team for runs in the first inning offensively, and as we just saw in the series against the Cincinnati Reds, their pitching has been getting shelled. The O’s need that help to find a groove, and even if they don’t, Baltimore's pitching is far from elite; that includes today’s starter, Shane Baz.

As always, we don’t care which team gets it done - both can do it as well - so we’re starting our MLB best bets today with an Orioles vs. Nationals YRFI (-125 at Novig).

🔥 Orioles vs. Nationals Prediction: Gunnar Henderson Over 1.5 Total Bases (-115 at Novig)

Look, we know that there is a full MLB slate to choose from, but if there is a correlated play, we aren’t going to actively fight against it. You see that we’re on a run to be scored in the first inning from the O’s and/or Nationals, and Gunnar Henderson is Baltimore’s leadoff man. So, why not add to our MLB best bets today with a player prop market focused on the lefty?

That alone is great news, facing righty Zack Littell. Today’s starter for Washington started in the bullpen, got five starts in April, was relegated back to a reliever, and is now getting another shot. Speaking of their bullpen, even if this doesn’t cash in the first inning, we’ve picked on the Nats ‘pen all season, and the Reds just proved us right yesterday, winning 15-1!

It’ll be sweat-free if both of our MLB best bets today cash in one swing, but this one doesn’t have to - we’re on Gunnar Henderson over 1.5 total bases (-115 at Novig).
