Hello everybody and welcome! 2023 Spring training is underway 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.

MLBSZN Picks for 2023
Yordan Alvarez more than 3.5 multi-home run games
This is a solid number to start the season on Alvarez. Although he had just three multi-home run games in 2021, he followed that up with five in 2022. He will be entering his age 26 season and should be coming into his prime. He has hit at least 33 home runs in each of the previous two seasons and should be able to close in on 40 this season, which will be helped by several multi-home run games.
Emmanuel Clase more than 35.5 saves
Cleveland is projected to win approximately 87 games this season. They are also projected to be in a highly contested division with multiple close games against the Twins and White Sox. Clase is the unrivaled closer in this pen and is coming fresh off of a 42-save season. Given the way the Guardians play small ball and are expected to be in the aforementioned close A.L. Central, he will have plenty of save opportunities this season.
Justin Verlander less than 3.02 ERA
When I first took a gander at this number, I thought for sure this would be more than a play, but not so fast, my friend. Verlander has been absolutely electric in his career. He has also been electric recently as he has posted a sub-3.00 ERA in three of his previous four seasons while posting exactly a 3.00 ERA in the fourth. Therefore, he has not posted an ERA above this number in any of his previous four seasons. While it will be a new league for Verlander, he will be pitching in a more pitcher-friendly ballpark in terms of Park Factor when he heads to New York.
Salvador Perez less than 27.5 home runs
This number feels way too high for Perez. Outside of his 41-home run 2021 breakout season, Perez has not eclipsed this total in any of his previous nine full seasons. He hit exactly 27 in 2017 and 2018, but these seasons would still fall under the threshold. He is also a catcher, which means he will have some rest days built in throughout the season. He is also entering his age 33 season, so it seems a bit far-fetched to expect him to continue building on his power numbers at this stage in his career.
