Welcome to our PrizePicks MLB DFS prop picks for Saturday, September 2, 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!

Paul Blackburn more than 5.0 strikeouts
Blackburn has struck out five or more batters in six of his previous seven starts and has a solid matchup against the Angels today. Over the previous three weeks, the Angels are striking out at a clip of 25.1% against right-handers, which ranks ninth-worst in baseball over that span. They are also pairing that with a wRC+ mark of just 81 and a sub-8% walk rate. Blackburn will also be at home where he has posted a full K/9 higher than on the road.
Yusei Kikuchi more than 5.5 strikeouts
Kikuchi has struck out at least six batters in six of his previous seven starts. He will be up against the Rockies tonight, who are posting a strikeout rate of 25% against left-handers over the previous three weeks, which ranks 10th-worst in baseball over that span. They are also posting just an 81 wRC+ mark over that same span and pairing that with a 6.8% walk rate.
Luis Severino more than 2.5 earned runs allowed
Severino has been STRUGGLING lately as he has allowed four or more earned runs in six of his previous 10 starts. He will be on the road against the Astros in this one, which is also bad news for Severino as he has posted an awful road ERA of 8.06. The Astros have also been hot against right-handed pitchers as noted by their 120 wRC+ mark over the previous three weeks, which is the seventh-highest in baseball over that span.
