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 and single-stat hitter props.

Fantasy Score and Single Stat MLB Totals
George Springer over 7.5 fantasy points - We missed on Springer last night with a 9.0 fantasy score total, but he is set much lower tonight against Nathan Eovaldi and definitely needs to be looked at. While Eovaldi has been solid overall in 2021, he is still allowing a .270 BAA to right-handed hitters and has given up five long balls and 20 doubles on the season. Springer is still hot as he is posting a 1.256 OPS over his previous 57 at-bats. Once Eovaldi is done, the Red Sox pen will enter and they have posted the ninth-worst ERA over the previous 15 days.
Aaron Judge over 8.5 fantasy points - Judge will be facing Mariners left-hander Marco Gonzales tonight. Gonzales has allowed 13 home runs to right-handed hitters this season and is also allowing a .309 BAA. This is great news for Judge as he is posting a .982 OPS against left-handers this season with eight home runs across just 105 at-bats. The Yankees also have the highest projected total on the board tonight at 6.25 and it would make sense for Judge to factor into that quite a bit.
Giancarlo Stanton over 8.0 fantasy points - Marco Gonzales struggles against right-handed hitters are mentioned above, so we will take another opportunity to go after him with Stanton. Stanton has hit lefties to the tune of a 1.003 OPS with 41 home runs in his career. He is also posting an .809 OPS with 15 combined runs + RBI across his previous 13 games. He should be in a good spot to contribute to that Yankees' total tonight as well.
Matt Chapman over .5 Runs + RBI - I am going to take a shot on a somewhat cold hitter in this game. Chapman still has three home runs and a combined 12 runs + RBI over his previous 11 games, so he could certainly hit this mark regardless of the situation. The fact that he is facing Mike Foltynewicz is why I like him tonight. Folty has allowed right-handed hitters to hit .267 off of him and has also allowed 16 home runs across 60 1/3 innings pitched. Oakland also has an implied total of five runs tonight and he should be able to get involved in that. The Rangers pen has also struggled this season and should give Chapman ample opportunities to hit the prop as well.
