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. For today's article, we are going to look at a little bit of everything in terms of K props, hitter props, and hitter fantasy scores.

Single Stat and Fantasy Score MLB and MLBP Totals
Zack Wheeler under 7.5 strikeouts - I know Wheeler has been a machine this season in terms of K rate, but his last three starts have looked a bit different since the sticky ban was put in place as he has struck out just 18 across 16 innings pitched. He will be facing a quality team in the Padres as well. The Padres are posting a K rate of just 20.8% against right-handed pitchers over the previous 10 days, which ranks seventh-best in the league They are also posting a wRC+ mark of 148, which is third-best in baseball over that span. They can certainly give Wheeler some trouble in this one and 7.5 seems just a tad too high given his recent starts.
Yuli Gurriel over 7.0 fantasy points - I am going to add a fantasy score in here for the first time this season and a scoring chart can be found on the site by clicking "scoring chart" under the fantasy tab in the MLB section. Gurriel will be facing Indians' left-hander, Sam Hentges, tonight. Hentges is allowing a .357 BAA and six home runs to right-handed hitters across 26 1/3 innings pitched this season. This is a perfect spot for Gurriel to rake as he is posting a 1.000 OPS against left-handed pitchers with nine doubles, six home runs, and 25 RBI. He is also hitting .357 with an .807 OPS over the previous two weeks and could be in line for a big game tonight.
Xander Bogaerts over 7.0 fantasy points - We are going with another fantasy score here and Xander has a solid matchup against Frankie Montas tonight. Montas has allowed a .283 BAA and nine bombs to right-handed hitters this season and has also allowed eight bombs at home in the Coliseum. Bogaerts has been on fire lately as he is posting a 1.026 OPS over the previous seven days and is hitting .318 with nine home runs off of right-handed pitchers this season.
Willy Adames over .5 Runs + RBI - I am going right back to the Adames well at such a low prop total. He has been on absolute fire as he is hitting .320 with four home runs and 24 combined runs + RBI over the previous two weeks. The Brewers will be facing JT Brubaker who has given up 10 home runs to right-handed hitters on the season. They also have an implied total pushing five and one would expect Adames to play a role in that total in some way, shape, or form.
