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
Nick Castellanos over 9.0 fantasy score - Castellanos and the Reds will be facing Cardinals left-hander Jon Lester who has allowed right-handed hitters to smack 14 home runs and 25 doubles off of him along with a .327 BAA. Castellanos has been hot lately as he is posting an .875 OPS with two home runs over his previous 24 at-bats. He has also posted a 1.714 OPS across 14 at-bats against Lester in his career.
J.T. Realmuto over 6.0 fantasy score - Keep an eye on the Phillies lineup tonight to be sure Realmuto is active as he left with an ankle issue in the sixth inning of yesterday's game. If he plays, he should have a good shot at getting over six fantasy points as he is posting an .851 OPS with five walks across his previous 16 at-bats. He will be facing Josiah Gray who has given up eight home runs across 21 innings pitched to right-handed hitters this season.
Nelson Cruz over 8.0 fantasy score - Cruz will be facing Nick Pivetta who has given up 12 home runs to right-handed hitters in 2021 and has allowed four earned runs in each of his previous two starts. Cruz has two home runs and nine RBI over his previous nine games and the Rays also have an implied total north of five runs tonight.
Alex Verdugo over 5.5 fantasy score - While Luis Patino has been solid in 2021, he has allowed left-haneded hitters to hit three home runs and post a .271 BAA. Verdugo is hitting .302 with a .400 OBP over his previous 43 at-bats and should be in a decent spot to get over this low total.
Overall Recommendation for this play: FLEX
