MLB DFS PrizePicks Picks for Today (Friday, May 23rd)

I’m here to share a few of my top picks for today’s MLB slate on PrizePicks. Most of these predictions are heavily based on our projections.

Be mindful of the fact that these are what we deem to be optimal picks at the time of publish. Just like with any sport, the news cycle in the MLB is fluid, so the picks below may become more or less appealing depending on a variety of factors. But rest assured that our MLB DFS projections team is constantly making updates.

We have 16 games on the schedule for today’s MLB slate. Below, I’ll detail how I’m approaching things on PrizePicks for Friday.

First… Sign Up to Make MLB PrizePicks Picks

If you’re interested in joining the action but haven’t signed up yet, you can claim a special offer with our PrizePicks promo code “LABS” to get $50 on a $5 entry! PrizePicks is one of the most popular DFS pick’em sites. They provide player projections for MLB matchups each day. From there, it’s up to us to determine whether a player will surpass or be lower than those projections in their games. With a wide selection of players to choose from, you only need to make at least two picks to create an entry.

I’ll be using our FantasyLabs projections to find meaningful edges on how MLB players might fare in different stat categories. For additional insight as you make your PrizePicks picks today, check out our fantasy pick’em tool, where you’ll find all of our picks for a variety of pick’em sites.
