Underdog Fantasy Top MLB Picks for 5/28

Now that you’re signed up, here are some of our top MLB picks on Underdog for 5/28 at a glance:

Reds vs. Royals MLB Underdog Fantasy Predictions

Here are the Reds vs. Royals MLB Underdog Fantasy predictions for tonight:

Noah Cameron Lower Than 4.5 Pitcher Strikeouts

Cameron is projected to achieve fewer than 4.5 strikeouts. Our simulations indicate a 2.6% edge and a 60.4% probability of success.

These numbers suggest that opting for less than 4.5 strikeouts for Cameron is a strong choice. The data aligns with a conservative outlook on his performance, reinforcing our expectations and making this a strategically sound pick for the game.

Blue Jays vs. Rangers MLB Underdog Fantasy Predictions

Here are the Blue Jays vs. Rangers MLB Underdog Fantasy predictions for tonight:

Tyler Mahle Lower Than 4.5 Pitcher Strikeouts

Mahle is projected to record 3.75 strikeouts, which is below the 4.5 Underdog projection. Our simulations reveal a 2.6% edge and a 68.3% probability of success.

These figures suggest that opting for fewer than 4.5 strikeouts for Mahle is a strong choice. The data aligns with a conservative outlook on his performance, making this yet another pitcher that we are expecting to fall short of their strikeout projection on Underdog.

Nationals vs. Mariners MLB Underdog Fantasy Predictions

Here are the Nationals vs. Mariners MLB Underdog Fantasy predictions for tonight:

George Kirby Lower Than 5.5 Pitcher Strikeouts

Kirby is projected to achieve 5.4 strikeouts, slightly under the 5.5 Underdog projection. Our simulations show a 1.1% edge and a 58.9% probability of success.

Choosing fewer than 5.5 strikeouts for Kirby is a solid pick but not quite as strong as those listed above. Still, we project it to be +EV in the long run.
