What's different
The p releases a puff of air and the L or R rides on it, so part of the sound is whispered. Listen to where the vowel starts: in pray, the r leaves it darker and a little rounded, like a quick "w"; in play, it starts bright.
There's a clue you can see as well: for pray, the lips are already rounded while the p is being said.
