Yes Runs First Inning

VegasSims simulated this matchup 10,000 times, resulting in a **38.6%** chance of a scoreless first inning. Away starter Christian Scott (K%: 27.9%, BB%: 13.3%) faces PHI's top of the order (avg OBP: 33.9%). Home starter Aaron Nola (K%: 24.0%, BB%: 7.5%) matchups against NYM's first three hitters (avg OBP: 35.2%). **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 (+7.9% edge on YRFI).
