Best MLB Player Prop: Sonny Gray| July 22
Sonny Gray Prop O/U 5.5 Hits Allowed
Let’s start with Sonny Gray’s leash. The RHP will rarely pitch into the seventh inning unless his pitch count is low. He’s surpassed 18.5 outs in just 4 starts this season due to his 31st percentile walk rate. That’s great for bettors targeting his hits allowed prop.
His counterpart in the Chicago White Sox are a mess. Against RHP this season, their striking out at a top 10 rate, not walking enough, and more importantly batting a bottom 10 rate. In July, it’s not much better. They’ve improved their batting average slightly but not enough to warrant any cause for concern on this prop.
The White Sox are projected to start at least five right-handed bats against Gray on Saturday. Not only does Gray have better numbers against right-handers, but he shutout this same White Sox team earlier this season and allowed just three hits in five innings. Look for Gray to cash this under for the 14th time in 20 starts in 2023.
