MLB PrizePicks Player Predictions: Sunday (7/9)

I really do hate seeing the overall record drop below .500. Everything looked like it should've lined up for success yesterday, but, as happens in gambling, we were let down by a couple of unfortunate events. Kevin Gausman fell one strikeout shy of his prop as the Blue Jays were no-hit by the Tigers themselves, and James Paxton did us dirty with one extra hit than we could've afforded. Hopefully, Jose Ramirez's successful over-prop was able to salvage some cards across the board. Sunday presents the last opportunity for MLB PrizePicks props prior to the 2023 All-Star break. Let's hope we can end the first half with a bang.

Overall record: 17-18-2

Sunday’s Best PrizePicks Player Predictions

Here are our best PrizePicks plays for today.

Shane Bieber Under 1.5 Walks Allowed

As the Royals were the sole team to do us well on Saturday, I'd like to go right back to targeting them this afternoon. Shane Bieber has not been good by any means in 2023, but he is historically not a wild pitcher when he toes the mound. The 28-year-old is coming off a rare five-walk performance, which is simply not the norm for him. Prior to that lone July start, Bieber had not handed out more than two free passes across any of his five starts in June, and he has dished out just 33 total walks in 2023 across 18 total starts (1.83/game).
