Today's PrizePicks MLB slate has tons of top player prop picks to choose from including one of our favorite plays from yesterday that unfortunately was canceled due to MLB weather issues around the league. Make sure you check out the MLB weather center before finalizing today's plays as well as checking out the MLB lineups page as Sundays around the MLB tend to see star players get days off which makes pitching matchups occasionally more favorable. 

Lets get into the action!

PrizePicks Top Plays

 

Shane Bieber Over 6.5 Strikeouts

We loved this matchup yesterday but unfortunately, the game got postponed but nothing here has really changed. We still get Bieber in a strong matchup as he runs up against the Detroit Tigers. The Tigers have a near 24-percent strikeout rate against right-handed pitching this season and over the past week that number is closer to 25-percent. Bieber has hit the over on today's strikeout prop of 6.5 in three of the last five games. I like that Bieber has thrown over 100 pitches in three of his last four games as it means the Guardians are going to give him plenty of leash to hit today's strikeout total against a weak opponent.

 

Yusei Kikuchi Over 5.5 Strikeouts

The Reds have a 25-percent strikeout rate against LHP this season with a .270 wOBA and today they run up against Kikuchi who is averaging a strikeout per inning this season, with a 9.3 K/9 on the year. Kikuchi has hit the over on this prop in three straight games and this is one of the best overall matchups on the board.

 

Sandy Alcantara Over 5.5 Strikeouts

It has been very hit or miss with Alcantara when it comes to strikeouts this season. The Marlins righty has just a 7.5 K/9  after posting averages of 8.8 K/9 and 8.4 K/9 over the past two seasons. Today he faces a Braves team that has the second-highest strikeout rate against right-handed pitching this season and over the last two weeks, they actually have the highest strikeout rate against right-handed pitching at 26.6-percent. The 5.5 strikeout total is a number that Alcantara has flirted with this season, pitching three games where he has hit the over and four games where he finished with five strikeouts of his eight starts this season. I'm counting on the fact that the Braves strike out more than the usual team will help push Alcantara to the over today.

 

Taylor Hearn Over 14.5 Outs

This one may be a bit of a shock but the Astros rank 22nd in wOBA, 23rd in OPS and 27th in average against LHP this season. A team that over the past few years dominated southpaws just can't hit them and we saw that on display two days ago when Martín Pérez tossed a complete-game shutout against them. Now, Taylor Hearn is not having the same type of season that Perez is having but he did face the Astros already this year and threw five innings which is all we need from him today to hit the over on this pro. He has thrown five innings in three of the last four starts.
