About NRFI Stats
NRFI (No Runs First Inning) tracks whether a starting pitcher holds the opposing lineup scoreless in the first inning. A high NRFI rate indicates a pitcher who consistently gets through the first without giving up runs — a key signal for first-inning prop bets.
Through 23 starts this season, Painter has held the first inning scoreless 15 times (65.2% NRFI rate). He's averaging 0.91 runs, 1.17 hits, 1.04 Ks, and 0.70 walks per first inning this season.
Opening Line Analytics combines Painter's historical stats with real-time lineup data and 10,000-iteration Monte Carlo simulation to generate a combined NRFI probability before every start.
