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 11 starts this season, PJ Poulin has held the first inning scoreless 9 times (81.8% NRFI rate). He's averaging 0.18 runs, 0.73 hits, 0.73 Ks, and 0.18 walks per first inning this season.

Opening Line Analytics combines PJ Poulin's historical stats with real-time lineup data and 10,000-iteration Monte Carlo simulation to generate a combined NRFI probability before every start.
