👉 PLAY YRFI (NO)
Yes Runs First Inning

VegasSims simulated this matchup 10,000 times, resulting in a **48.6%** chance of a scoreless first inning. Away starter Javier Assad (K%: 16.6%, BB%: 7.2%) faces MIA's top of the order (avg OBP: 33.3%). Home starter Ryan Gusto (K%: 19.1%, BB%: 8.1%) matchups against CHC's first three hitters (avg OBP: 36.3%). **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 (+10.6% edge on YRFI).
