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. Tonight, we will look at some fantasy score hitter props.

Fantasy Score and Single Stat MLB and MLP Totals
Lance McCullers Jr. less than 6.5 strikeouts - Betting over the total for strikeouts in the postseason is always a bit risky as pitchers tend to pitch less than their normal workload due to situational pitching. McCullers has missed this total in each of his last two starts while throwing six innings in each of those starts. He will likely throw somewhere around six maximum today, but has a tough matchup against the White Sox. Over the last 10 days, the White Sox are posting a K rate of just 21.3% vs. right-handed pitching, which is ranked 10th-best in the league. They will also enter this game with the second-best wRC+ against righties over the previous 10 days with a mark of 136.
Kyle Tucker over 5.5 fantasy score - Tucker enters this game rather hot as he has posted a .320 average and .970 OPS over his previous seven games. Lance Lynn has also shown the ability to struggle in recent starts as he has given up seven earned runs and six earned runs in two of his previous five starts. This is a spot where Tucker can take advantage as he has also posted a .920 OPS against right-handers this season and is also posting a 1.006 OPS at home for the season.
Enrique Hernandez over .5 runs + RBI - I always like to take a shot on a leadoff hitter when he has .5 runs + RBI on the board and that is likely the position Kike will be in tonight. On the season, Hernandez has posted an .851 OPS against left-handed pitchers while also hitting 10 bombs. He is 2-for-6 off Rays' starter Shane McClanahan this season as well, and McClanahan has given up 12 of his 14 home runs this season to right-handed bats.
Mike Zunino over .5 total bases - Zunino comes into this game on a tear as he has posted a 1.011 OPS over the previous seven games. He has also posted solid numbers against Red Sox starter, Eduardo Rodriguez, as he is 4-for-11 with a double, triple, and home run. This adds up to a 1.371 OPS and makes him a solid candidate to get a hit tonight.
Overall Recommendation for this play: FLEX
