Welcome to our PrizePicks MLB DFS prop picks for Friday, May 19, 2023. The 2023 MLB season is underway here at RotoBaller, and we have you covered with some terrific plays from our friends over at PrizePicks.
PrizePicks is a great DFS fantasy picks 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. 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.
Announcement: We have two awesome new Props Optimizers for the MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, and NCAA! The PrizePicks Optimizer and Prop Bets Optimizer are both available in our new Props Premium Package, which includes exclusive access to RotoBaller's VIP Discord chat rooms for props and betting.
PrizePicks Over/Under DFS Props Contests
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 the MLB, Single Stat consists of pitcher strikeout props in which you determine if the pitcher in question will go over or under their projected strikeout total.
You can mix and match players from different types of games 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. Let's see what the board offers today!

Zac Gallen more than 6.5 strikeouts
This is a very solid number on Gallen, especially in this matchup. He has struck out at least seven batters in six of his nine starts this season. He will be up against the Pirates, who have been struggling mightily recently.
Over the previous two weeks, the Pirates have posted the highest K rate (30%) and the lowest wRC+ mark (49) vs. right-handers. The matchup simply does not get any better than this tonight for Gallen.
Aaron Judge more than 9.5 hitter fantasy score
This is a high fantasy score, but it always is with Judge, and he is currently on fire. over the previous week, Judge has posted a 1.340 OPS with five home runs and 18 combined runs +RBI. He will be taking his show on the road to the Great American Small Park tonight, where he will be facing Ben Lively and the Reds' fourth-worst bullpen over the previous 10 games. He should be in great shape against Lively as Judge has hit 10 bombs off righties thus far in 2023 whilst posting a 1.142 OPS.
Yusei Kikuchi less than 5.5 strikeouts
This seems a bit lofty for Kikuchi as he has struck out six or more in just four starts this season. He has a relatively tough matchup in this one against the Orioles as well. Over the previous two weeks, Balitmore has posted a 108 wRC+ vs. left-handers. The books also feel this is a stretch as they have this number set around -140 to the under per our optimizer.
Zack Greinke less than 3.0 strikeouts
Greinke has eclipsed this total in just one of his previous five starts and just three times total this season. He will be up against the White Sox, who are posting the fourth-best K rate vs. right-handers over the previous two weeks with a rate of just 19.6%. Their offense is also starting to come alive as noted by their 105 wRC+ mark over that same span.
