Reds vs Tigers Preview, Prediction
Jack Flaherty has had a strong season, but he's been lights out in his last three outings.
The Detroit starter only allowed one run and six hits over those 18 innings, with 21 strikeouts.
He is the key to this Under bet. Flaherty ranks 12th in the American League with a .255 BABIP.
In addition, the Cincinnati offense is underwhelming. No player from the Reds, including Elly De La Cruz, bats .300 or has at least an .850 OPS this season. They rank 19th in wRC+ with 96.
On the other hand, the Tigers are a better-producing lineup (108 wRC+), but they had not scored more than five runs in their previous eight games before yesterday's outburst. Kerry Carpenter and Spencer Torkelson are struggling in the last 14 days with a .730 and .692 OPS, respectively.
It will be up to Brady Singer to stop them today. After he got pummeled on May 10, the Reds starter has been on a nice streak, allowing only two or three runs per outing.
Since this is an Interleague game, the matchup sample sizes are not significant. The unfamiliarity with pitchers should help with this pick, aligning with the recommendation from our Bet Labs system.
Reds vs Tigers Prediction, Betting Analysis
This system targets unders in interleague (non-conference) games where both teams are winning clubs, and the market sets a modest total (7–10).
The setup leverages:
- Solid teams (49–100% win rate) facing unfamiliar lineups and pitchers
- Later-season matchups (game 22+), when teams settle into pitching rhythms.
- Home teams favored (moneyline -260 to -110), suggesting stronger bullpens
- Undervalued run suppression due to lack of offensive familiarity
The result: profitable unders in tighter, more disciplined matchups between quality teams with limited recent exposure to each other.
Pick: Under 8 (-115, BetMGM)
