MLB Pitcher Prop Bets - Today's Betting Picks

Shane Bieber OVER 6.5 strikeouts (+100 DraftKings Sportsbook)

This prop will not be at even money very long today as Bieber has gone over this total in four of his last five starts, including a 10-strikeout performance against these Tigers in his most recent start. The Tigers have been struggling quite a bit vs. right-handed pitching as well as they have posted a 27.2% K rate over the previous two weeks, which ranks second-worst in baseball. They have also paired that with a pedestrian 84 wRC+ mark over the same span.

Jon Gray OVER 4.5 strikeouts (-165 DraftKings Sportsbook)

This could be a little Dicey as Gray has eclipsed this total in just one start this season, but it came two starts ago against the Angels where he struck out eight. This is an Athletics team that was topping the charts in terms of K rate vs. right-handers not so long ago and are still posting a rate north of 20% while also posting an average 96 wRC+ mark.
