MLB DFS PrizePicks Picks for Today (Monday, August 18th)

Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Paul Skenes

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.

Below, I’ll detail how I’m approaching things on PrizePicks for Monday.

First… Sign Up to Make MLB PrizePicks Picks

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 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 sites.
