The AI Model likes many underdogs to win outright tonight. Therefore, I added three different underdog bets for tonight’s slate that you can tail and cheer on.

Let’s get right to it before heading to the top-rated sportsbooks!

Picks Summary:

  • Tigers ML (+106)
  • Reds ML (+100) 
  • Blue Jays ML (+125)

*All odds from Bet365 (check our Bet365 Review)


San Francisco Giants vs. Detroit Tigers

Tuesday, May 27, 2025 – 06:40 PM EDT at Comerica Park

The AI Model thinks the Detroit Tigers will add a 4.1-3.9 win over the San Francisco Giants at home. The Tigers are the American League’s best team with a 35-20 record. Any time you can buy the Tigers at an underdog price, it’s a good idea. Right now, the Tigers are +106 on the moneyline.

Logan Webb Isn’t Perfect!

The Giants will give Logan Webb the ball for tonight’s game. Webb started the season incredibly well, but he’s had his struggles against lefties over the last 30 days. Webb has allowed a .194 ISO and wOBA of .329 to his previous 41 lefties. He’ll have to face more lefties in the Tigers’ lineup. Plus, those five expected lefties have smashed a .265 ISO and wOBA of .396 against righties in the last month.

On the other hand, it’ll be Jack Flaherty for the Tigers. The righty has allowed a lot of line drives and fly balls. But he’s also struck out 26.5% of batters in the last month and 28.9% of batters this season.

The strikeouts should help him get through a Giants lineup that also hasn’t hit for much power against righties in the last month.

The Pick

Grab the Tigers at +106. They’re the American League’s best team!

Cincinnati Reds vs. Kansas City Royals

Tuesday, May 27, 2025 – 07:40 PM EDT at Kauffman Stadium

Our AI Model thinks the Cincinnati Reds will earn a 5.6-4.0 win over the Kansas City Royals tonight. That’s a 1.6-run margin, but the Reds are just +100 on the moneyline. Buy in on the Reds now!

Brady Singer’s Return To Kansas City!

The Cincinnati Reds will send out Brady Singer for tonight’s game against the Kansas City Royals. Singer began his career with the Royals and gave them some really good outings. But now he’ll want some revenge against his old team.

Singer has struggled against both sides of the plate over the last month. Yet, he’s limited his first 85 righties to a .130 ISO and wOBA of .309. It’s likely the Royals will have more righties than lefties in the lineup, which should help Singer manage this start well.

On the other hand, Daniel Lynch will pitch for the Royals. The lefty hasn’t had many reps, but so far, he’s looking great. The only issue is that he’s struck out 6.5% of his last 31 batters. The Reds will at least put the ball in play, and when you do that, good things happen.

The Pick

I’m on the Reds at +100.

MLB Pick: Reds ML (+100) at Bet365


Toronto Blue Jays vs. Texas Rangers

Tuesday, May 27, 2025 – 08:05 PM EDT at Globe Life Field

The AI Model suggests the Texas Rangers will only win by .1 runs. Yet, the Rangrs are -140 on the moneyline. We’re better off fading the Rangers. Instead, the value is on the Blue Jays, who are +125 on the moneyline.

Has Bowden Francis Been Unlucky?

The Toronto Blue Jays will send out Bowden Francis for tonight’s game against the Rangers. Francis has only struck out 17.9% of batters this season and has allowed a .269 ISO and wOBA of .387.

These aren’t great numbers. However, over the last 30 days, Francis has limited line drives to 21.7% and has walked only 4.5% of batters. He’s even earned close to 23% of whiffs against righties and 12.1% of swinging strikes against righties in the last 30 days.

The strikeouts should be higher. He’s also limited line drives and isn’t walking many batters. He’ll improve over time, especially against a Rangers lineup that hasn’t hit consistent power against righties recently.

On the other hand, Nathan Eovaldi will get the call for the Rangers. He’s been electric this season. However, he’s facing a Blue Jays lineup that has hit a .205 ISO and wOBA of .353 against righties over the last month.

Toronto has a much better lineup and should be able to grind out at-bats to earn a tight win on the road.

The Pick

Take the Blue Jays at +125.
