Welcome to our PrizePicks MLB DFS prop picks for Tuesday, May 30, 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!

Yusei Kikuchi more than 5.5 strikeouts

Kikuchi has also posted a phenomenal 12.0 K/9 mark at home compared to a 6.1 mark on the road.
Brayan Bello more than 5.5 strikeouts
Bello has hit this mark in three of his previous games and flirted with it in the other two as he struck out five in each contest. The matchup is solid as the Reds have posted the 10th-highest K rate vs. right-handers over the previous two weeks with a rate of 24.5%.
Miles Mikolas more than 5.0 strikeouts
Mikolas has struck out five or more in four of his previous six starts. He will be up against the Royals tonight, who are posting the fifth-highest K rate vs. righties over the previous two weeks with a rate of 26.1% while also pairing with just a 7.5% walk rate. Mikolas will also be at home in this one where he has posted a 7.5 K/9 rate compared to a 6.6 K/9 on the road.

Elder has struck out at least six in three of his previous five starts and in six total starts this season. He will be up against Oakland, who is posting the second-highest (28.7%) K rate vs. right-handers over the previous two weeks.
