MLB Round-Up Preview – Wednesday, Aug. 27, 2025

 

Another full slate of Major League Baseball is on deck this Wednesday, and the Raymond Report is here to break it down. Using C.O.W (Chance of Winning), VIC (Value Index Confidence), and recent streak data, let’s dive into today’s matchups and find where the betting edges might be hiding.


Washington Nationals vs New York Yankees (-272, 8.5)

The Nationals (52-79) limp in on a 4-game losing skid, while the Yankees (72-60) are heating up with 3 straight wins. Max Fried takes the mound with a 60% C.O.W edge. Price is steep, but the Bronx Bombers are the clear chalk.


Atlanta Braves (-136) vs Miami Marlins (8.5)

The Braves (60-72) exploded for 11 runs yesterday and send Joey Wentz to face Miami’s Ryan Gusto. The Marlins (62-70) are 4-6 in their last 10, while totals lean Over with both staffs struggling.


Tampa Bay Rays (-136) vs Cleveland Guardians (7.5)

Tampa Bay (64-68) cooled off yesterday, but Cleveland (65-65) is still just 2-8 in their last 10 despite a Messick-led shutout. Drew Rasmussen takes on Slade Cecconi. Guardians are bearish in VIC, lean Rays.


San Diego Padres vs Seattle Mariners (-138, 8)

The Padres (75-58) outslugged Seattle yesterday, but Mariners (71-62) counter with Bryan Woo. Both clubs are strong, but Seattle is 7-3 to the Over in their last 10. Totals may hold more value than the side.


Boston Red Sox (-164) vs Baltimore Orioles (9)

Boston (73-60) pitching has silenced Baltimore two straight games. Bello takes the ball with a 54% C.O.W edge. Orioles (60-72) fading fast. Totals lean Over (C.O.G.O 69%).


Minnesota Twins (+150) vs Toronto Blue Jays (-182, 9)

Toronto (77-56) stumbled last night but Bassitt hands the ball to Lauer for redemption. Twins (59-72) are 3-7 last 10, and Jays are 7-2-1 to the Over in that span.


Philadelphia Phillies (+130) vs New York Mets (-157, 8.5)

Philly (76-56) drops two straight while the Mets (71-61) are surging. McLean starts for New York with VIC neutral but form in their favor.


Kansas City Royals (-132) vs Chicago White Sox (8.5)

The Royals (68-65) grind another series with Ryan Bergert starting. Sox (48-84) are in spoiler mode, Civale gives them a shot, but VIC stays neutral.


Arizona Diamondbacks (+130) vs Milwaukee Brewers (-149, 8.5)

Brewers (83-50) look for consistency behind Priester, while D-Backs (64-68) skid continues. Arizona’s lost three straight, but totals lean Over (6-4 last 10).


Pittsburgh Pirates (+170) vs St. Louis Cardinals (-194, 7.5)

The Pirates (58-75) send Bubba Chandler, while Sonny Gray takes the bump for St. Louis (65-68). Pittsburgh sneaky 6-4 last 10; VIC bullish Pirates suggests live dog.


Los Angeles Angels (+140) vs Texas Rangers (-164, 9)

Rangers (67-67) climbing back to .500, Jacob Latz starts vs Kochanowicz. Angels (62-70) just 3-7 last 10. Totals lean Over, VIC bearish LAA.


Colorado Rockies (+260) vs Houston Astros (-313, 8)

Astros (72-60) got stunned by Colorado yesterday. Valdez takes the ball against rookie Dollander. Houston still carries a 50% C.O.W edge and looks to bounce back.


Cincinnati Reds (+180) vs Los Angeles Dodgers (-208, 8.5)

Dodgers (76-57) keep rolling behind Ohtani. Reds (67-65) sliding, now lost 2 straight. Dodgers 6-4 last 10 and chalky, but deservedly so.


Chicago Cubs (-131) vs San Francisco Giants (8.5)

Cubs (76-56) are still 7-3 last 10 despite last night’s loss. Giants (64-68) behind Whisenhunt have won 3 straight. Totals lean Over (C.O.G.O 60%).


Detroit Tigers (-131) vs Oakland Athletics (10.5)

Detroit (78-56) on a 3-game skid, while Oakland (62-72) surges with 7 wins in their last 10. High total (11.0) reflects fireworks. Both clubs heavy Over trends.
