MLB Monday starts early with Giants vs. Tigers.
We’re crafting a +254 parlay using Action PRO tools: A sharp, back-tested trend on the over/under hitting 64% this year, and an additional data-driven prop.
The series opener starts at 1:10 p.m. ET—the very first game of the day. First pitch features starting pitchers Hayden Birdsong for San Francisco and Keider Montero for Detroit.
Let’s get into it.
MLB Parlay Today: Giants vs Tigers Over/Under Picks for 5/26
The initial wager is on the game going under 8.5 total runs. This aligns perfectly with the “Interleague Under Edge” PRO System developed by researcher Evan Abrams.
This system targets unders in interleague games where both squads boast winning percentages between 49% and 100%, facing largely unfamiliar lineups and pitchers. The model focuses on games after at least 22 team games (when pitching staffs have settled), especially with home teams favored in the moneyline range of -260 to -110. Due to limited recent matchup familiarity, these conditions point toward stronger bullpen usage and less offensive production. The result is a profitable unders trend hitting 64% for the season.

The second leg is a prop bet on Hayden Birdsong recording under 5.5 strikeouts. Our PRO strikeout projection model calculates Birdsong will tally approximately 5.2 strikeouts in this game, making the under 5.5 a smart value play.
Parlaying both is +254 at FanDuel.
