MLB PrizePicks Player Predictions: Thursday (7/27)

Another solid 2-1 day took place on yesterday’s big slate. If the Diamondbacks didn’t send Gallen back out there in the 7th inning with 90 pitches, we would’ve been looking at another 3-0 sweep. It’s slim pickings today with only 5 games on today’s slate, but I’ll still find three options for this limited Thursday.

Dylan Cease Under 5.5 Strikeouts

Nobody strikes out less than the Guardians against right-handed pitching, and they have rarely struck out when they have faced Cease in the past. Their roster has a minuscule 15.4% K% in 117 plate appearances against him. Dating back to last season, Cease has six starts against Cleveland and has failed to go over this line in five of the six, averaging just 4.2 K’s per outing. 18 of the last 25 right-handed starters to face them have failed to strike out more than 5 batters. Taking an under on a Cease K-prop is rarely ever a fun time. In this kind of a matchup, though, it is doable.
