Focus on Player Props with Consistent Performance
Player performance in baseball is highly matchup-dependent. Always examine pitching and hitting splits, paying close attention to how batters perform against specific pitchers, right-handed or left-handed splits, and ballpark factors. A hitter who struggles against left-handers, for instance, is less attractive when facing a strong lefty starter.

Key Tips for Building Your Entries
Understand PrizePicks Scoring
Before diving into player stats, ensure you’re thoroughly familiar with how PrizePicks scores baseball contests. PrizePicks uses a straightforward scoring system primarily based on hitting (hits, home runs, RBIs, runs scored, walks, stolen bases) and pitching (strikeouts, earned runs allowed, innings pitched). Understanding the exact scoring system allows you to target players strategically.
Leverage Recent Form
Baseball is heavily influenced by streaks. Players often perform in cycles, and identifying who is hot or cold can significantly influence your decisions. Look at recent performance over the last 7-14 days. A batter with a recent hitting streak or a pitcher coming off dominant starts can be strong candidates for your selections.
Pay Attention to Weather
Weather conditions can dramatically impact baseball games. Wind blowing out can significantly boost home run potential, while cooler temperatures and wind blowing in can suppress scoring. Incorporating daily weather reports into your cheat sheet can give you an edge in making accurate picks.
Prioritize Strikeout Potential in Pitchers
Pitchers with high strikeout rates provide a safer floor and higher ceiling in PrizePicks. Even if they allow a few runs, accumulating strikeouts can help them meet or exceed their projected points. Target pitchers facing teams with high strikeout rates.
Target Hitters in Favorable Parks
Ballpark dimensions heavily influence hitter performance. Parks like Coors Field, Yankee Stadium, and Fenway Park are hitter-friendly, making batters playing in these parks more appealing. Conversely, pitchers in pitcher-friendly parks (like Oracle Park or Dodger Stadium) can offer safer choices.
Monitor Lineup Changes
Always confirm the day’s starting lineups before finalizing your selections. A player batting higher in the lineup gets more at-bats and thus more opportunities to accumulate points. Last-minute lineup shifts can significantly affect projections.
Utilize Advanced Stats
While traditional stats like batting average and ERA are useful, advanced metrics offer deeper insights. For hitters, consider metrics like wOBA (weighted On-Base Average) and ISO (isolated power). For pitchers, pay attention to xFIP (expected Fielding Independent Pitching) and swinging-strike rates. These metrics provide predictive value beyond surface-level stats.
Avoid Overvalued Popular Picks
Public sentiment can inflate certain players’ perceived value. PrizePicks often adjusts lines based on public popularity. Fading highly publicized picks can sometimes yield better value and improve your chances of differentiating your entry.
Combine Safe Picks with High-Upside Plays
A balanced cheat sheet mixes reliable performers with high-risk, high-reward options. For example, pair a consistent hitter known for getting on base regularly with a slugger who might strike out frequently but offers significant home-run upside.
Manage Bankroll Effectively
Always practice proper bankroll management. Diversify your picks rather than going all-in on a single player or game. Consistent, careful bankroll strategy helps sustain your betting over the long baseball season.
By incorporating these strategies into your PrizePicks MLB cheat sheet, you can significantly increase your chances of success, making smarter, data-driven picks that elevate your DFS game.
