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.

Fantasy Score MLB Totals
Javier Baez over 5.5 fantasy score - Baez has a low total tonight against Marlins left-hander Jesus Luzardo. Luzardo has given up 15 bombs to right-handed hitters while also allowing a .294 BAA and 13 doubles. Baez has been swinging a hot bat over his previous 13 games as he has hit four home runs and posted a combined 18 runs +RBI. He has also posted an .892 OPS with eight home runs against lefties on the season.
Pete Alonso over 6.5 fantasy score - We are going to stick with the Mets in this one as their matchup against Luzardo is one of the best on the board for right-handed hitters. Alonso has been scorching hot as he has a 1.351 OPS with three home runs, one triple, and five doubles over his previous 32 at-bats. He has also hit lefties to the tune of a .975 OPS with 15 home runs this season and is 1-for-3 with a bomb off Luzardo in his career.
Corey Seager over 7.5 fantasy points - Seager gets to face Cardinals right-hander Jake Woodford tonight and that should mean good things. On the season, Woodford has allowed a .345 BAA and five bombs to left-handed hitters across facing just 94 of them. Seager has a 1.297 OPS with three extra-base hits, five RBI, and five walks across his previous 19 at-bats.
Jose Abreu over 6.5 fantasy score - This could look like a home run hunter pick, but it is actually more than that. While Manaea has given up 17 home runs to right-handed hitters this season, he has also allowed a .276 BAA against and 25 doubles to them. Once he is done pitching, Oakland's 29th ranked bullpen in terms of ERA over the previous 15 games will enter into the equation. Abreu has posted a .952 OPS with 11 home runs vs. lefties this season and is also posting a .990 OPS overall in his previous 43 at-bats.
Overall Recommendation for this play: FLEX
