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.
