Tuesday’s 15-game MLB slate begins in Cleveland at 6:10 PM ET, with all 30 teams in action this evening across the league. Of course, a full slate of games also means a full slate of betting opportunities as well!
As always, be sure to monitor our MLB starting lineups page throughout the day, as unexpected changes in the batting order can result in value opportunities in the betting and DFS markets.
Another reminder – it’s not a bad beat, or unlucky, if you bet a player to hit a home run and his fly ball dies on the warning track because it’s 40 degrees with the wind blowing in! Before locking in any bets, use our MLB weather page, curated by Chief Meteorologist, Kevin Roth. There are countless edges to be found if we make the right reads on possible rain delays and great hitting weather, just to name a few. Taking a look at the weather report can save us from a bad bet that otherwise looks good on the surface.

Best MLB Player Props for Tuesday, May 27th
Here are my top player prop bets for today, with the first pitch scheduled for 6:10 PM ET on Tuesday, May 27th:
- Brady Singer Over/Under 17.5 Outs Recorded
- Juan Soto Over/Under 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs
- Stephen Kolek Over/Under 17.5 Outs Recorded
Brady Singer UNDER 17.5 Outs Recorded (+105, DraftKings)
DRAFTKINGSFollowing a strong start to the campaign, Singer has struggled to a 7.85 ERA, 5.74 FIP, and 1.85 WHIP during the month of May. He’s walked as many batters as he’s struck out during that span, in addition to allowing a ghastly 13.6% barrel rate. His efficiency has also waned in recent weeks, averaging more than 4 pitches per batter faced across the last month. Kansas City is an aggressive offense that hasn’t done a lot of damage against RHP this season, but it’s still far from a guarantee that Singer records 18 outs. At plus money, this could be a worthwhile risk.
Juan Soto OVER 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs (-145, BetMGM)
Soto has struggled to begin the season, at least by his own lofty standards. That being said, he’s still been a rather productive player, owning a 120 wRC+ entering play. Tonight, he gets to face Jonathan Cannon and a taxed White Sox bullpen. Cannon has allowed a .258 batting average across the platoon this season, with roughly league-average metrics in other categories. Soto, who has gone hitless in 4 of his last 5 games, should have some favorable opportunities to break out of his mini slump.
Stephen Kolek OVER 17.5 Outs Recorded (-138, FanDuel)
San Diego’s arm barn is in terrible shape ahead of first pitch, having used Robert Suarez and Jason Adam each 4 of the last 5 days. If used this evening, Adrian Morejon would be pitching in his 3rd consecutive game and for the 4th time in 5 days as well. The team’s longer-relief options aren’t particularly rested either, which should mean a long leash for Kolek. Kolek is far from an ace, but he’s been extremely efficient of late, averaging only 3.5 pitches per batter faced during the last month. He should have every opportunity to get through 6 innings against an aggressive Miami offense that ranks 6th in swing% across the last 2 weeks.
