Welcome to our PrizePicks MLB DFS prop picks for Monday, May 22, 2023. The 2023 MLB season is underway here at RotoBaller, and we have you covered with some terrific plays from our friends over at PrizePicks.
PrizePicks is a great DFS fantasy picks 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. 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.
Announcement: We have two awesome new Props Optimizers for the MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, and NCAA! The PrizePicks Optimizer and Prop Bets Optimizer are both available in our new Props Premium Package, which includes exclusive access to RotoBaller's VIP Discord chat rooms for props and betting.
PrizePicks Over/Under DFS Props Contests
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 the MLB, Single Stat consists of pitcher strikeout props in which you determine if the pitcher in question will go over or under their projected strikeout total.
You can mix and match players from different types of games 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. Let's see what the board offers today!
MLB DFS Props - Over/Under Picks for Today
Be sure to also check out our brand new PrizePicks Optimizer tool and the free PrizePicks DFS Props Tool to see more recommended picks.
Zack Wheeler more than 6.5 strikeouts
This is a play that is more about the player than the matchup. Wheeler has struck out seven or more in four of his previous five starts. While Arizona is posting just a 20% K rate vs. right-handers over the previous two weeks, they did allow Johan Oviedo to mow them down seven times and Mitch Keller to mow them down eight times over the weekend. That could mean their K rate vs. righties is about to start ticking upward.
Cristian Javier more than 6.5 strikoeuts
This is a play that is about the player and the matchup. Javier has struck out at least seven in three of his previous five starts. Tonight, he will be up against the Brewers, who have posted the seventh-highest K rate vs. right-handers over the previous two weeks with a rate of 25.6%.
They have also paired this K rate with a lackluster 7.4% walk rate and 88 wRC+ mark. Add in the fact that Javier has posted an 11.5 K/9 on the road this season and you have a recipe for success.
Luis Robert Jr. more than 8.5 hitter fantasy score
Robert has been on fire as he has posted a 1.037 OPS with three home runs and 12 combined runs + RBI over the previous week. He will be up against Guardians right-hander Hunter Gaddis, who has allowed a .309 BAA and four home runs to righties across just 74 PA since 2021. Meanwhile, Robert has posted a .808 OPS with 10 home runs against right-handed pitching thus far in 2023.
Adolis Garcia more than 8.0 hitter fantasy score
Garcia has obliterated this fantasy total in four of his previous five games amidst posting a 1.280 OPS with five bombs over the previous week. He will be up against Pirates right-hander Luis Ortiz, who has allowed a .304 BAA to right-handed hitters thus far in 2023. Meanwhile, Garcia has posted a .808 OPS with 11 bombs off right-handed pitchers thus far in 2023.
