Hello everybody and welcome! The 2021 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 as well as hitter props in which you determine if the pitcher or hitter in question will go over or under their projected 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. Tonight, we will look at some hitter single-stat totals as well as a pitcher strikeout prop.

Single Stat and Fantasy Score MLBP and MLB Totals
Franmil Reyes over .5 Runs + RBI - Reyes will be facing Kwang Hyun Kim who has allowed six home runs to right-handers on the season as well as a .250 BAA and a 3.77 ERA. While this may not seem like much, it could be enough for Reyes to get rolling as he is a career .285 hitter with 16 bombs off right-handers to go along with an .856 OPS. The Indians also have an implied team total of five runs today, and one would think Reyes would somehow be involved in that production.
Robbie Grossman over 1.5 Hits + Walks - You want to play Grossman when he is facing a lefty and that is exactly the case today against Twins' left-hander J.A. Happ. Happ has allowed right-handers to hit for a .302 AVG with 24 walks across 78 1/3 innings pitched. Grossman has posted a very solid .376 OBP vs. lefties this season and has also posted a .333 OBP vs. Happ in his career.
Gleyber Torres over .5 Runs + RBI - Torres is on a tear as he is hitting .314 with three bombs and a combined 13 runs + RBI over his previous 10 games. He will be squaring off against Michael Wacha who has allowed 12 home runs and a .278 BAA to right-handers this season.
Yusei Kikuchi over 5.0 strikeouts - Kikuchi will be facing the Houston Astros this afternoon who are posting a K rate of 26.3% vs. left-handers over the previous 10 days, which ranks fifth-worst in baseball. They are also posting a wRC+ mark of just 56, which is tied for third-worst over that span. Kikuchi has gone over this total in seven of his previous nine starts and tied it in the other two starts.
