Yes Runs First Inning

VegasSims simulated this matchup 10,000 times, resulting in a **58.7%** chance of a scoreless first inning. Away starter Jake Bennett (K%: 19.0%, BB%: 6.0%) faces NYY's top of the order (avg OBP: 31.1%). Home starter Carlos Rodón (K%: 25.4%, BB%: 13.6%) matchups against BOS's first three hitters (avg OBP: 31.9%). **Best Bet**: **YRFI (Yes Runs First Inning)**. The top-of-the-order hitting splits combined with starters' walk/homer susceptibility suggests high probability of early runs (+9.6% edge on YRFI).
