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 fantasy score hitter props.

Fantasy Score MLB Totals
Brandon Lowe over 8.5 fantasy score - All of the Tampa Bay Rays will be in a good spot vs. Orioles right-hander, Matt Harvey, tonight. Harvey has posted a 6.41 ERA vs. lefties while allowing nine home runs and 14 doubles across 235 batters faced. Once Harvey is done, the worst bullpen in the league will enter as they have posted a 7.26 ERA over the previous 15 days. Lowe has been hot as noted by his 1.004 OPS with four home runs and 22 combined runs + RBI over his previous 12 games.
Michael Chavis over 6.5 fantasy score - I would not have expected to put Chavis here, but he has been swinging a hot bat for the Pirates and has a 1.049 OPS with a home run and a double across his previous 17 at-bats. He has also hit three home runs off left-handers in just 39 at-bats in 2021 and will be facing J.A. Happ who has allowed 22 bombs and 25 doubles to right-handed hitters this season. Chavis is also 2-for-8 with a bomb off Happ in his career.
Amed Rosario over 6.0 fantasy score - Another day and another low fantasy score for one of the hottest hitters in baseball. Rosario is hitting .455 with two home runs over his previous 22 at-bats. He has also hit left-handers to the tune of a .331 average with seven doubles and four stolen bases. He will be facing Eduardo Rodriguez who has allowed righties to post a .274 BAA with 10 home runs and 27 doubles.
Jonathan Schoop over 6.5 fantasy score - Schoop has been a bit cold lately, but I am willing to take a shot on him with this low score in this matchup against Steven Matz tonight. Matz has given up 11 home runs, 17 doubles, and a .268 BAA to right-handed hitters this season. Meanwhile, Schoop has posted a .348 average, .983 OPS, eight home runs, and nine doubles across 67 games vs. lefties in 2021. He is also 1-for-4 with a home run off Matz in his career.
Overall Recommendation for this play: FLEX
