Hello everybody and welcome! The 2021 MLB Postseason 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.

Fantasy Score and Single Stat MLB Totals
Xander Bogaerts over 7.5 fantasy score - Bogaerts is posting an OPS over 1.000 in the postseason thus far with three home runs and six RBI. He gets a matchup vs. Astros' left-hander Framber Valez who he has posted a .929 OPS against across six previous at-bats. Bogaerts has also posted a .819 OPS with seven home runs against left-handers this season and is posting a .936 OPS with 15 home runs at home this season.
Jose Altuve over 7.0 fantasy score - Altuve has posted a .913 OPS with three home runs and seven RBI in eight postseason games thus far. He will be going up against Red Sox left-hander Chris Sale who has posted a career .833 OPS across 24 at-bats. Against left-handers in 2021, Altuve has posted a .790 OPS with seven home runs.
Freddie Freeman over 1.5 total bases - While Freeman has struggled to the tune of just one home run and two RBI this postseason, he is coming fresh off a three-hit game last night and could be turning the corner. He also gets a matchup tonight against Julio Urias who he has posted a .300/.364/.900 line against with two home runs in his career.
Carlos Correa over .5 Runs + RBI - Correa has 12 combined runs + RBI across the Astros' eight postseason games. He has gone over this .5 total in six of their eight games. While he does not have superb numbers against Chris Sale (.579 OPS) he has hit lefties to the tune of a .844 OPS and could certainly do some damage off this Red Sox pen as he has already done thus far in the series. He will also be batting fifth in this game and his opportunities to produce here should be plentiful.
