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 as well as some single stat pitcher props.

Fantasy Score MLB and Single Stat MLBP Totals
Paul Goldschmidt over 6.0 fantasy score - This is a seven-inning game for Goldschmidt against Wade Miley and the Reds, so there is definitely some risk involved in an over play here. That being said, Goldschmidt has four home runs, 19 combined runs + RBI, and a 1.187 OPS over his previous 12 games. He has also seen Wade Miley 14 times in his career and has a 1.000 OPS with six hits against him.
Ryan Mountcastle over 6.0 fantasy score - Mountcastle will be facing Blue Jays left-hander, Steven Matz, who has allowed 31 extra-base hits and a .263 BAA to right-handed hitters. Meanwhile, Mountcastle has hit lefties to the tune of a .900 OPS with nine home runs, eight doubles, and one triple in 2021. He is also posting a 1.036 OPS over his previous 27 at-bats.
Chris Sale over 7.0 strikeouts - This number was as high as 8.5 in some spots earlier this morning and for good reason. Sale has struck out 21 batters in 15 1/3 innings pitched since returning from Tommy John surgery. Tonight, he will be facing the Tampa Bay Rays who have struck out the third-most in baseball against left-handed pitchers on the season with a rate of 26%. Sale also has a career 2.01 ERA with 108 strikeouts across 71 2/3 innings pitched at Tropicana Field.
Justin Steele over 4.0 strikeouts - Steele has struck out five batters in each of his last two starts and has a solid matchup against the Minnesota Twins tonight. Currently, the Twins are posting the fourth-highest K rate vs. left-handed pitchers with a rate of 27.2%. They are also posting a second-worst ranked wRC+ of 51 across that span, which should help Steele get a bit deeper in this one.
Overall Recommendation for this play: FLEX
