All 30 teams are in action today. There are plenty of good matchups from around the league, including meetings between the Tampa Bay Rays and Baltimore Orioles and the Boston Red Sox and Atlanta Braves. But where does the value lie when it comes to player props?
Here are the best PrizePicks plays for Tuesday, May 9th's MLB action.
Tuesday’s Best PrizePicks Player Projections
This Season: 22-23
Perhaps this is a trap line from oddsmakers, but this truly feels like a guarantee. Bieber's line is set way up at 6.5, but he has only struck out more than four batters in one of his seven starts this season. He has thrown at least 5.2 innings in each of his starts, yet even in his 8.0 inning outing against the Yankees on May 3rd, he only struck out four.

Perhaps this is a trap line from oddsmakers, but this truly feels like a guarantee. Bieber's line is set way up at 6.5, but he has only struck out more than four batters in one of his seven starts this season. He has thrown at least 5.2 innings in each of his starts, yet even in his 8.0 inning outing against the Yankees on May 3rd, he only struck out four.
He does have solid numbers against the Detroit Tigers lineup. He has struck out 26 batters in 88 at-bats. But Bieber has not been overpowering this season, and he has struggled to strike people out. Because of his history, that could change at any time, but this number is simply too high not to trust the under.
Vogelbach has never faced Reds' starter Luke Weaver, but this still feels like a good opportunity for him tonight. Weaver has allowed 21 hits in 16.0 innings pitched. He does strike out a lot of batters, which could be worrisome, considering Vogelbach has 20 strikeouts in 28 games this season.
But Vogelbach went deep on Sunday, the day after seeing limited action. He has recorded a hit in six of his last nine games, which has happened because he's not always swinging for the fences. He has just two home runs this season, but he has 18 hits. Needing just one hit tonight to hit his over, we like his chances against the Reds' pitching staff.
After missing most of the month of April, Anderson went hitless in three of his first four games in May. However, he has hit safely in his last three games, including yesterday against the Royals. The main concern with this bet is that Anderson has not had an extra-base hit since April 8th. So for him to go over 1.5 bases, he is likely going to need two hits.
He is just 2-7 in his career against Royals' starter Jordan Lyles. However, Lyles is registering a 1.39 WHIP this season, and he has allowed 42 hits in 40.1 innings.
