Welcome to our PrizePicks MLB DFS prop picks for Thursday, October 19, 2023. The 2023 MLB postseason 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.

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!
MLB DFS Props - Over/Under Picks for Today

Tommy Pham MORE than 1.5 hits + runs + rbi
This is the third-highest-ranked prop on the PrizePicks Optimizer with a 53.6% chance of success, which is a tad lower than we would normally like to see but still within range. The reason the prop is a favorite is due to the fact that odds across the board have this listed at roughly -135, which is a decent value. Pham has struggled over his previous three games, but he had also eclipsed this total in each of the three games prior to that. He will be up against left-hander, Ranger Suarez, which could be good news as Pham posted a higher OPS and home run total against southpaws this season.
Christian Walker MORE than 1.5 hits + runs + RBI
Christian Walker has posted a very respectable .845 OPS this postseason while eclipsing this total in three of his seven games. He has hit left-handers well this season as noted by his .922 OPS and 13 home runs. He has also posted an .872 OPS at home this season compared to a .792 mark on the road. His opponent, Ranger Suarez, has also allowed a .278 BAA with 12 home runs to right-handed hitters this season.
Nick Castellanos MORE than 1.5 hits + runs + RBI
Nick Castellanos has been on a tear this postseason as he is posting a 1.325 OPS with five home runs thus far. He has eclipsed this total in five of his eight postseason games and in four of his previous five games. He will be up against Brandon Pfaadt, who has allowed 11 home runs and a .290 BAA to right-handed hitters this season. He has also posted an unsightly 6.46 ERA at home in 2023.
