Hello everybody and welcome! The 2022 MLB All-Star Break has officially ended and we here at RotoBaller are ready to kick off the second half of the season with some terrific plays with our friends over at PrizePicks.
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 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 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. Let's see what the board offers today!

MLB DFS Prop Picks for 8/12/22
Pablo Lopez over 6.0 strikeouts- I wish we could get this at 5.5, but Lopez has matched or eclipsed this total in three of his previous four starts and has a solid matchup in terms of strikeout potential tonight against the Braves. The Braves have posted a 27.2% K rate against righties over the previous two weeks, which is ranked second-worst in baseball while also posting just a 6.5% walk rate over that same span.
Tony Gonsolin over 5.5 strikeouts - Gonso has hit this total in three of his previous four starts and four of his previous six starts and will be facing Kansas City Tonight. The Royals have posted the ninth-highest K rate against righties over the previous two weeks with a rate of 23.2% while also posting just a five percent walk rate and sub-100 wRC+ mark.
Tyler Mahle over 6.0 strikeouts - Mahle has only hit this prop in two of his previous five starts, however, he had some tougher matchups over that stretch when facing the Blue Jays and Cardinals. That will not be the case tonight against the Angels as they have posted the fourth-worst K rate against righties over the previous two weeks with a rate of 25.4% while also posting a sub-100 wRC+ mark over that same span.
Carlos Rodon over 8.0 strikeouts - This is a big number but ROdon has hit it in two of his previous three starts and will be facing the Pirates tonight. Over the previous two weeks, Pittsburgh has posted the sixth-highest K rate against lefties with a rate of 27.9% while also posting just an 85 wRC+ mark. Rodon should be able to rack up the strikeouts in a hurry in this one.
Other Recommendations - Mookie Betts over 1.5 total bases, Juan Soto over 8.5 fantasy score
