First Inning Decides It All

First-inning fireworks or quiet starts? We break down three key matchups tonight: Reds vs. Pirates, Royals vs. White Sox, and Dodgers vs. Padres. Chase Burns is lighting up early for Cincinnati, but the Reds’ offense has been ice cold to start games — expect a scoreless first. Meanwhile, Wacha and Martin are both elite at shutting down early offense, and with both teams struggling to score first, another no-run inning is likely. But out in San Diego, things could heat up fast — Randy Vasquez has given up runs early, and the Padres’ starter has allowed first-inning runs before, while the Dodgers’ offense is loaded to strike. Set the tone early — these first innings could decide everything. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
