Best PrizePicks MLB Today: Fade Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. More/Less Than 1.5 Total Bases
If there’s ever a time to fade Vladimir Guerrero Jr., it’s now. Guerrero Jr. will face off against All-Star snub Logan Gilbert and his 3.46 xERA. The two have battled it out since Gilbert appeared in the big leagues in 2021. Guerrero Jr. has two hits off Gilbert in eight at-bats but went 0/3 in their last matchup last July.
Gilbert and his low walk rate is a little concerning when targeting this prop but Vladimir Guerrero Jr. sees LHP much better. He’s hitting .261 against RHP versus over .300 against LHP. He’s stayed under this prop in four of his last 10 games and was hitless in four at-bats last night.

Cody Bellinger More/Less Than 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBI
Cody Bellinger hasn’t had the greatest success against Mikolas in his career but he’s the hottest hitter on the planet at the moment. He’s hitting .476 in July and has the second most hits this month behind J.P. Crawford who has 13 more at-bats than Bellinger.
Bellinger’s 6.4% K rate this month gives bettors much confidence that he’ll put the ball in play and drive in the top of the order that has had success against Miles Mikolas in their careers.

Taylor Ward More/Less Than 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBI
Like Cody Bellinger, Taylor Ward is seeing the baseball extremely well. He’s hitting .304 in July with back-to-back games with home runs. Tonight, he’ll meet up against Pittsburgh Pirates LHP Ryan Borucki but Osvaldo Bido and his 5.00 ERA will be the primary pitcher.
Ward will be hitting right in the middle of the lineup behind Shohei Ohtani and Mickey Moniak who are big threats to find the base pads. Look for Ward to cash in on this prop for the eighth time in his last 11 games.
