Hello everybody and welcome! The 2022 MLB season is alive and well and that means our new friends over at PrizePicks have a TON of great props we can look to take advantage of.
PrizePicks is a great DFS props site where you can choose to select plays in terms of fantasy points or single stats. The goal is to build a 2-player, 3-player, 4-player, or 5-player entry and then select whether or not you want to play for the power play or the flex play. On the power play, you will need to be correct on each of your selections to win, and on the flex play, you will have a little more wiggle room for a chance to win some money back.
Our partners at PrizePicks offer some of the best, and easiest to win, MLB DFS games in the industry. There are no large-field tournaments filled with sharks where you have to get lucky just to place. At PrizePicks, you're not playing against other people, you're just playing against the projections, and the guys at PrizePicks have worked hard to give you really attractive opportunities to make some money. With promo code 'BALLER' you can get a 100% match on your deposit up to $100.
PrizePicks has two types of games. The first type of game is known as Fantasy Score, which consists of selecting various players and trying to determine if they will go over or under their projected fantasy points in a game. The second game is known as Single Stat. For MLB, Single Stat consists of pitcher strikeout props in which you determine if the pitcher in question will go over or under their projected strikeout total. You can mix and match players from each type of game in your entry or select all of your plays from the same type of game. Once you have selected your players and props, you can choose the aforementioned flex play or power play option. Let's see what the board offers today!

MLB DFS Prop Picks for 6/1/22
Lucas Giolito over 6.5 strikeouts - Giolito has a solid matchup today against the Tampa Bay Rays. Over the previous two weeks, the Rays have posted the fifth-highest K rate against right-handers with a rate of 25.5% while also posting a mediocre wRC+ of just 80. Meanwhile, Giolito has averaged over seven strikeouts per game this season and has gone over this total in three straight games.
Jordan Montgomery under 5.0 strikeouts - While the Tigers have posted high K rates against right-handers this season, they have actually been pretty solid against lefties. Over the previous two weeks, the Tigers have posted just an 18.3% rate, which is ranked 11th-best in the league over the span. Montgomery also has not lit the world on fire in terms of strikeouts this season as he has yet to go over this total and is averaging just 4.1 strikeouts per game on the season.
Paul Goldschmidt over 1.5 total bases - Goldy will be facing left-hander Justin Steele tonight, which is very bad news for Steele. On the season, Goldschmidt has blasted left-handed pitching to the tune of posting a 1.566 OPS with seven doubles and three home runs across just 35 at-bats. Steele has posted a 5.18 ERA and 1.52 WHIP against right-handed hitters this season as well.
Framber Valdez over 5.0 strikeouts - Valdez started rather slow this season in terms of strikeouts, but has eclipsed this total in four of his previous five starts and will have a good shot at doing it today against Kansas City. The Royals have posted a K rate of 27.3% vs. left-handed pitching over the previous two weeks, which is ranked third-worst in the league over that span. They have also posted just a 56 wRC+ mark over that same span, which is ranked dead last in baseball.
